The owner of this very Blog shares this Broadcaster’s fear of failure.
This article is part of a regular series of monthly features about the joys of radio. However, this edition brings details of a warning from the early days of British radio. It’s from 1931, when the BBC’s broadcast headquarters was a series of rooms on the upper floors of a back-street building down by the […]

The owner of this very Blog recently happened to have a nightmare about modern NASCAR Driver Matt Kenseth potentially shaving his head with a Razor and Shaving Cream just like his son Ross.
The owner of this Blog also happened to write a Post some time ago about a scenario in a Barbershop that replicated Matt Kenseth having his head shaved with a Razor and Shaving Cream. See this earlier Post for more information.
Also, if you’ve been following this Blog for a while; you know that I have never tolerated NASCAR, since the beginning of the 21st Century, trying to be as appealing to the average person as Basketball, American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey, and to a lesser extent; Soccer/Association Football. And nor have I ever had the tolerance of most modern NASCAR Drivers being Stick and Ball Athletes who became Stock Car Drivers because they didn’t make the cut as Professional Stick and Ball Athletes, training to become a Stock Car Driver was the only other thing they had trained to do throughout their childhood, otherwise; they would have had to enter an entirely new and different line of work.
I don’t have any tolerance, whatsoever; for Matt Kenseth competing in the 2022 Boston Marathon; any other modern NASCAR, Indy Car, or Formula 1 Driver competing in the Boston Marathon in any given year; and/or competing in Biathlons or Triathlons.
Below is footage from a legacy Westinghouse/Group W Television Station that was originally an NBC Television affiliate, WBZ-TV; which became a CBS affiliate when Westinghouse’s Broadcasting Divison (Group W) was absorbed into CBS in 1995. The change also affected Group W’s other Television Station, KYW-TV in Philadelphia; also becoming a CBS affiliate; and CBS’s legacy owned and operated Television Station in Philadelphia, WCAU-TV; becoming owned, operated, and affiliated with NBC Television.

We said this was never happening in our house. We weren’t going to let the boys play football.
And yet somehow, last Thursday night, Bennett ran in the winning touchdown for his high school football team. Let me explain.
—
In the early fall of 2020, several months into Covid, Bennett started talking about joining the football team, because he had a few friends on the team who wanted him to. Honestly, I ignored him. With three kids at home full-time Covid learning, and me at home full-time Covid working, I had no room in my brain to give this rational thought, and my sense of humor was at an all-time low, so this didn’t even seem funny. He knew we’d just always said no football, and none of the boys had wanted to play, so this all worked out fine.
Without me knowing, he started joining the team for…

The Author of this very Blog, along with many other shrewd, intelligent, and intellectual people who possess a moral compass; are offended by this person’s comments about Barack Obama, and the 46th (and current President as of the time of writing this Post) Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
Just like baseball teams and really any other sports franchise, politicians also are enterprises. They may not be incorporated in quite the same way and maybe the legal terminology is different but look at the facts. They have to build a brand around a name. They want to figure out how to get you, the consumer, to spend your hard-earned cash on whatever it is they happen to be peddling. They have no trouble floating with the winds of whatever fad has taken the country by storm at a certain point in time. The sad fact of the matter is that Jimmy Stewart’s Mr. Smith never really existed except for in our collective imagination.But this is where it gets fun. Sure, it’s easy to compare different sports franchises with different companies, expounding on their similarities and noting the token differences. But if politicians are corporations, too, how do they…

Another person that needs to comprehend just how much more important the Automotive world as a whole, Ham Radio, and Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television all are than Sports and Fitness.
Here is an actual excerpt from an email I sent a business associate today at work:
Dear (So and So Business Associate),I hope this finds you well rested after the long Thanksgiving holliday. Your question really needs little thought to answer, for the best single volume on Chinese symbolism is most definitely
Hidden Meanings…Did you catch that?
No, not my inane nice guy approach (which I admit, reeks of staleness). I mean did you catch my spelling error?
Holiday. Not holliday. Silly Jeff.
If this can happen to me, it can happen to you. Dear readers, if you allow your baseball nerdiness to infect your everyday life then please at least take the extra careful step of proofreading your work-related correspondences.
And that goes for everything work related. The baseball gods blessed me with a 24/7 baseball persona, but they weren’t careful enough to provide me…View original post 253 more words

This is long, I know. But it’s real, and everyone tells me I’m going to want to remember these times, so I know I have to write it down or it’s gone. That said, the last 4 days have looked a little like this:
Thursday
3:30am: I am awakened by strong thunderstorms that eventually turn into a tornado siren going off at…
5:30am: Wake boys and gather everyone in the basement. Turn on TV and realize that the tornado is nowhere near us, and send everyone back to bed. Which is kinda dumb because…
6:15am: it’s time to wake up for the day.
ALL DAY LONG: rotation of storms/hail/quiet for a few hours/more storms, knowing that very strong front is on it’s way around 7pm.
6:45pm: Tornado sirens go off well ahead of the impending storm…it’s still 45 minutes away, but we return to the basement, and stay there through…View original post 1,047 more words

Contrary to what this person thinks, Bald is not beautiful.
This person should instead wear the same hairstyle as yours truly, the owner of this very Blog.It’s a fact: some men lose their hair earlier than others. And rather than pretend it’s not happening, I think it’s really hot when a young guy decides to just shave off what’s left of his hair and sport a bald head with confidence. I realize it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is mine.
Lucky for this guy:
Actually, it’s the bald head + the few-days’-growth-beard that looks so good together.
And here are some other examples, in case you’re doubting me.
In the athlete, er, rather, Cardinals category we have:
1. Skip Schumaker
2. Matt Holliday
3. Albert Pujols
And then in the musician category, there are many, I’m sure, but being as how I’m a mom and I have other things to do today besides look up pictures of hot balding guys, I’ll have to stop at one, and he’s my fave:
