What is Five Years Between Posts?

 The last time I wrote anything on this blog was almost 5 years ago. If you haven't followed me since then, what has happened?

My book was published and you can get your copy of Caricatures Of My Mind from Amazon.

I was promoted to sales developer on my job, a position I still have today. 

During the pandemic, folks in the company I work for were sent home to do our jobs, where most of us still are.

Those of you who prefer I keep my hair short will be disappointed to know that I currently sport a ponytail halfway down my back. You may ask why and I will tell you that I am almost 67 years old, an, d I can. 

And if the trolls are still out there, you will be happy to know that I am still band announcer for Rittman, still one of the most popular in press boxes in northeast Ohio, and this Friday, I will be completing my 23rd season as the voice of the Rittman Indians Marching Band. And our nickname is still the Indians.

I still write poetry. I may have missed one day in the past 10 years. I have several low cost ebooks available on Kindle.

My original Facebook page was hacked this past February, so now I have a new page.

Next month, the Around Rittman podcast, hosted by me, will be celebrating it's one year anniversary. You can listen by clicking this link.

And finally, though a work in progress, the Around Rittman podcast is getting a companion site, RittmanPress.com. The name of the website is homage to a longtime newspaper in the town I have called home since July, 1983.

there is more to come, either here or there from the "Voice of the 44270."

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 game was

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
