Post 1400: I used to pay tribute to radio stations....

I can remember some of my milestone posts. Post 1100 paid tribute to WTAM/1100. 1220 paid tribute to 1220/WGAR, and WIXY/1260 was th tribute to that number. That has been a while ago.

Thank you to the people who gave me a warm reception as I made my comeback post, of sorts. As previously stated, I had my Facebook account hacked last winter. I had 981 "friends" at the time. Most of those folks tolerated me and I thought it was cool to have that number of friends. I currently am at 279 and have no ambition to go much higher.

And since I am now a podcaster, many of the old school radio people I was friends with, may look down upon me. The important people now with the podcast is my audience and others in Rittman, Ohio. Matter of fact, this blog has much about the 44270. I may have to repeat some of the classic posts on my blog at Rittmanpress.com.

And as I am learning how to put together a decent website, I may have to do some housekeeping over hers and clean up some links....

And one of my next posts may address the question one of my friends from the United Kingdom asked when I posted my comeback message here-"Does it really matter in the scheme of things?" Spoiler alert: For me, it does.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing. The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
