End of Week Notes

Followup on last post: We went to the fish fry this evening, my father-in-law driving to, and me driving from. This is the first time in five months that he has driven anywhere. His health continues to improve and this was good for his and his wife's mental health. This is good before the garage and yard sale season begins. They always like to check them out.

My favorite morning radio show personalities have written interconnecting posts on their respective blogs. Earlier this week, Sue Wilson gave her list of gratitudes, giving credit to our own MsHen aka Betty Ann.

Scott Wynn noted on his blog that Sue's post inspired him to write a list of "Springtime Renewelutions." He also encourages all readers to email him a list of their own.

It's me again, Margaret: A blog that I've been following a little bit closer of late is called Bellathena's Blog. Margaret is the keeper of this blog, named after her dogs, Bella, and Athena. In it she spins yarns about her life, yarns about her dogs, and yarns about...yarn. I met Margaret through Pigeon and Jen, as she participates in A-Z Mondays and Weird Object Friday. She also attended the College of Wooster. But that brings up something I've been curious about for years: Wooster, Ohio has two instutions of higher education, the College of Wooster and an extension of THE Ohio State University, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, or OARDC. But guess which place offers wearing apparel that says "COW?" One clue, it's not the agricultural center.

Have a happy first day of Spring.

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...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...

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...
