Passionate Blogger Award

Fellow Northeast Ohio resident, Mike Golch of Rambling Stuff fame, has awarded me with the Passionate Blogger Award. As a matter of fact I was the first one awarded. I guess the passion that I show while blogging is the passion to communicate with others in a non confrontational way. So in my style of passing along the award, I will tell you what I perceive is the passion(s) of the recipients of this award from me.

Struke of Media Matters fame: Struke shows a passion in electronic media and telling us, the readers, the changes he feels could be made to improve the product. He also has become a passionate political blogger in the past year.

Tim of Cleveland Classic Media fame: Tim shows a lot of passion in his blogging and wanting to do his part in preserving the history of media in my home area. Check Tim out as he will post things of national interest at times.

Pat of Pat J Knows it All fame. What can I say? I already gave an award to a passionate Democrat(Struke) so as part of the WIXY's Gone Bananas fairness doctrine(tm), I have to give one to Pat, a passionate Republican. Pat gives his own unique view of world affaris, adding his own brand of sarcasm to it. I also wanted to remind him that Cleveland State beat Wake Forest.

Karen of Karen's Korner fame:I didn't want to cause any bickering at the Jenkins' home. Karen has only been blogging for a few weeks but she has made her presence known throughout the blogosphere.

And finally, seeing that I have unintentionally started a pattern of awarding Buckeye bloggers, I will award the last one to another resident of Ohio:

Daisy, of Dancing With Daisy fame: Daisy shows us her world and always give us a reason to dance along with providing the music. Her blog is a mixture of prose and poetry, photos and videos, and sometimes she will read the post to us.

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...
