It's 3:30am, Do you know where my mind is?

Shameless plugs never hurt: My good friend Tim Lones, of Cleveland Classic Media fame, has been posting links to his excellent blog on the television forum at Cleveland.com. He had wondered if the posts there were too much and started a thread, asking the folks on the forum thought that. Well, as expected, the answer was that he put a great product out and he should post links often. And of course, I never miss a chance to promote my friend there, as he has done the same for me. I also put a shameless plug in for myself, which vastly increased my number of hits yesterday. You can never accuse me of being the missing link. And by the way, if you haven't lately, check out Cleveland Classic Media. Tim has been doing some sprucing up of the site.

Dinner with 2 more bloggers: I have to mention this, as they paid for it. My daughter, Martha, of Welcome to my Crazy Life, among others, fame, and her husband, Kevin, took us out to dinner last night. Included in the party was my grandson, Ben, of Through the Eyes of a Five Year Old fame. We ate at Marie's restaurant in Wadsworth. It's located in the out lot, in front of Evil Big Box Store #2966. Cliff Note: Don't eat the fried chicken there! Martha said I should blog about the bloggers meeting, but seeing that I was in the delivery room when she entered the world, that wouldn't be news.

I hope everybody has a fantastic weekend!

Next time I get the stuffed shells. Makenna really liked them.

The chicken didn't meet the official WIXY's Gone Bananas criteria, and certainly was nowhere near that of Milich's, Rittman IGA, or Hometown Market. It was however, a little above the Evil Big Box Store(tm) feeble attempt at frying chicken.

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...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Big Chuck! a review

Update 01/12/09 : Click here to read a related article on Ohio Media Watch, along with a review of the book. Cliff Note: It's the second article in the OMW post. I spent a good portion of my Friday nights while I was going through my preteen and teenage years watching a television show called "The Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show." In high school, I was on the wrestling and football teams. One of my teammates was a quiet young man named Mike Schodowski. His father is Charles Schodowski, also known as Big Chuck. The book I'm about to review chronicles his 47 years as a part of Cleveland television history. The book tells how Chuck come from a family living in the Slavic Village neighborhood in Cleveland, how he went from working in a foundry on Cleveland's east side, to going into Cleveland television, first at KYW, channel 3 to WJW, channel 8, and how he became a Cleveland icon. Chuck started out as a camera man and went into directing. He was a part of the phenomenon...
