| Description: | Since my job was eliminated after 25 years with one company, I have been blogging about my experiences looking for work, the ups and (mostly) downs of the broadcasting business, and trying to find ways to laugh at life in general. I've also been busy getting on my soapbox to bitch about stuff that I couldn't bitch about when I was working in radio news! |

One Man's Trash...
I went upstairs this morning with a heavy duty trash bag and opened up my standing dresser to find some rummage to give to the Vietnam Veterans of America. Groups like the V.V.A. and Purple Heart call us at least once a week in search of our old clothes, books, shes and appliances, and more often than not, we manage to find some stuff for them. What's amazing to me is that we never seem to run out of stuff w

Hold The Line, Montgomery County!
I have spent quite a few column inches in this blog talking about Montgomery County, which I have called home, more because of inertia than anything else, for virtually my entire life. The county government has a well-deserved reputation for taxing its residents and spending money like it's water, and its managers are now finding, in th

A Whole New Meaning To "This Bud's For You!"
I just want to give a quick shout out of congratulations to Bud Adams, the owner of the Tennessee Titans, who has been fined 250,000 dollars by the No Fun League after extending his middle finger not once, but several times, towards the Buffalo Bills, who were beaten by the Titans in an AFL-heritage grudge match this past weekend. Here's Adams in action - but I must warn you... his fingers are showing! I'm not going to bother commenting on the fine handed down by the NFL. They don't want their owners tarnishing the league. OK, whatever. However, Adams' gesture is no different from any gestures I've been giving to the television nea

Remember - You Get What You Pay For!
I am not, by nature, a pessimistic person. In fact, I tend to be quite adroit at compartmentalizing the bad things in my life and leaving them in a dark hole to be ignored for as long as possible, so I can focus on lighter fare, such as vacation planning or watching reality TV. When I'm busy working at one of my freelance news jobs, it's easier to ignore the fact that I have no long term career prospec

Ever Wonder How Some Businesses Stay In Business?
NOTE: Let me say upfront that I hit a small speed bump in my quest to keep up almost daily with my blog. It's just that I've actually been working this week - and unbelievably, that has a way of interfering with my blogging! I might have to rethink this business of actually being employed! Anyway - I'm back today, and hope to be back to cranking stuff out regularly by next week. - ed.
