Back on standard time

So we "fell back" last night. That means it will get dark an hour earlier, which means I will go to work when it's dark and get home when it's almost dark. So much for me learning how to play golf. I'll give this blogging thing a shot.

Congratulations to Medina Highland, of which I'm a 1974 graduate. The Hornets won their playoff football game against Avon Lake 35-23. Now the 10-1 Hornets go into the next round this weekend against Powell Olentangy Liberty, who are 8-3 and have a stupid name. Olentangy sounds like a primate at the zoo. GO HORNETS!!

As far as the other Wayne County football teams, they are doing the same thing as Rittman this week, which is nothing. Triway, Waynedale, and Norwayne all went down to defeat this weekend.

This week I will attempt to do in my fifties, what I've done in my twenties, thirties, and forties, and that's work a second job at least for the holidays. I have an interview at Kmart Tuesday after I get off work. WIXYjr asked me why I didn't apply at Walmart* and I figured if I got hired on there, I would have to change a whole bunch of posts on my blog, as I'm sure many store managers would take too kindly to my terminology for their fine establishment. Besides what would it do for my credibility as a blogger? I also figure what helps for me is I could help in a pinch wearing a certain red suit(ho ho ho.) I could also work on my mic skills.

I just figure Walmart* management wouldn't be too crazy to have someone working there who has referred to their establishment for at least two years in a blog and other internet forums as Evil Big Box Store(tm)#2966

I see, MrP, that Powell Orangutan Liberty is located near C-bus, which makes it closer to your neck of the woods than mine. The Patriots and their faithful also have a long drive this weekend to Ashland.

Good luck with your interview. I like shopping KMart because the one in our neck of the woods is never busy, and they basically have the same stuff!! So you'd probably see me this season!

Have a GREAT day!!

Good luck on the job interview. Hopefully I will get another job again soon and it defiantly won't be at the EBBS. LOL

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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
