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.

Another Shining Moment For Montgomery County!
It's been a frustrating couple of days for commuters in Montgomery County. The 30-year-old computer that controlled more than 750 traffic lights in the county crashed the other night
Excuse me... WHAT?
One of my current projects is finding a contractor to replace the railing on our deck. The current rail is 13 years old, and truth be told, it needed to be replaced probably 7 or 8 years ago. See the picture - you'll see I'm not kidding! I've been told the railing is made of untreated wood, and really should never have been use
