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...

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...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
