Important numbers

156-My blood glucose reading this morning. Adding some exercise, as well as watching my carbs is finally working out for me now. I think I'm also getting over a hump caused by my losing my job. My blood glucose had been well over 200 and for awhile I had thought my doctor was going to put me on insulin. Now it looks as though I can keep it down.

1200- The number of this post.

Now I've gotta go for a walk.

Exercize ???

So critical! I think far to many people think they can control their health with diet, but without exercize it is futile.

Those are some good numbers Cliff.
Glad to hear the weather is clearing up enough for you to get out and moving..if for nothing else but for your mental health.

ps. don't tell anyone, but some one called the coach fat boy recently...from the sidelines to the middle of the softball field, during a game. not pretty.
But when we won the game, coach said loudly: Looks like fat boy won!
You cant take that stuff personally...as I know you didn't.

GREAT JOB, Cliff!!! Cheers to health! I also need to exercise today - first by cleaning up some snow outside 'coz it's been snowing since morning...and then some light exercise inside. :-D

I gotta give you props, Cliff... that is not something I would have taken lightly.

Now, I'm at the library, having walked 1 mile to get here. I will soon walk an additional 2 miles to the mall, then another 2 miles plus back home where I will then, and only then, park my not-so-skinny-now rear end for the evening. :)

Oh by the way, I've gotta get back to providing weather forecasts for the entire 3 state area. As soon as I fix the USB hub on my computer, I will do exactly that at my Tri-State Weather Watch blog...

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

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 game was
