I saw something at http://smallreflections.blogspot.com/ that really speaks volumes to me. and you know what every whom the eras mentioned can relate as well.
Just for the time being I changed my picture of me to my dulicmer.I may add my ugly mug back when i redo my photo or I may put the same one back again.depends on how I feel,besides a little change is good.I have seen other’s change their pics on some sites so I decided to change mine.
I guess with me it is feast or famine,there are days that I’m so prolific that it scares me.that I’ll go a day or more and cannot think of one thing to say.the life of a “writer”

for those who remember High Flight is was used as a sign off when television stations ended ther broadcast day.Now they stay on 24/7
I was on the http://listentogrammie.blogspot.com/ today and I saw a prayer request for a missing child.I respectfully request that you use this link and go offer moral support as well as keeping the young girl in your prayers. i know that in my blogs I sometimes come across as an individual that is not caring,well as far as my political views I’m guilty as charged.When it comes for prayer requests for an ill person,a missing person or,a person that has passed away.That is a whole new Ballgame. I truly do care about these.
Today I took down a bloggers link,she in her last blog called swan song said that she was through blogging. for those that do not know what I’m talking about here it the link that I took off the blog roll: http://malinthemiddle.wordpress.com this way you can go and read her last entry.
One of my comments say it so,the following one was where I said goodby to her.She will be missed by me.
well it has been snowing since yesterday and it looks like we will end up with almost 20 inches of new snow when all is said and done.That’s why I titled this blog the “Snow Job” I’m so glad that we do not have to remove the snow ourselves,that is why we bought our condo in the first place.we may have to clean our stoop off and touch up the drive and put down ice melt,but it sure beats shoveling all this stuff! The winter storm warring we are under is set to expire at 4:00 am on Sunday morning.
Of course I could take the same attitude as my late friend Al (madman)Madan used to say,”God put it and he can take it away” Al and I were corrections officers with the Sheriffs dept.Some of my other friends were the Bohanic brothers. There were 3 of them,(cpl)Ron was a supervisor. Bill (billbo)and I worked on the 8Th floor together he was a great fan of the hobbits of JRR Tolkien,and the third brother who’s name escapes me now.After all I left the department in 1995.
There are a lot of co-workers and a whole list of characters that were fun to work with.Some of my friends/co-workers have gone on to become police officers,Deputies,and other professions.
I can think of two people in particular the I’d like to say Cpl.Robinson (who was one of my supervisors.) left to go the the Brookpark police dept. Bobby Clark left and ultimately became a Cleveland Police officer that was killed in the line of duty. Someone else I’d like to talk about was my late friend/supervisor Cpl.Lou Pontikos,he was a great man who had a big heart,he was the kind of guy that you would walk into hell with willingly.Him and I always started the day off the same way,he walk into the control room and say”Hey Mikey How are ya?” I”d than reply “Hey Louie fine thanks for askin” He died of a heart attack while on duty,as I had to watch helplessly from the control room. I worked the different floor control rooms.I was good at my job so I was assigned to work the control room.
