It's the middle of October and I am giving away haunted house passes with movie trivia for WBOO-MX, so let's talk more about scary movies. My favorites are the Halloween series as well as the Scream series. Another one I really liked was Insidious - but I've only seen the first. One that I DON'T like - The Strangers from 2008. The thing is...I actually DID like it, but it scares me to death!!! I…
Today is World Mental Health Day. It's a chance to check on yourself and others around you to see that everyone is doing well in their own way. Some of us are better at that than others. Speaking as someone who has dealt with mental health issues for 15 years, I can say days like this are important. We want to de-stigmatize having a mental illness. Many moe people deal with some sort of mental…

The first Friday of October is World College Radio Day! I, like many others, got started at my college radio station. WXUT-Toledo at the University of Toledo. Our "official" fomat was Alternative Rock, although they allowed us to take our show and make it anything we wanted to. Therefore, I played the music I had from home on CDs. My shift was Friday mornings 8-10. I will tell you, being in college I didn't always…
A couple days ago, I was sitting in the house and heard a thud in my driveway. I looked outside to see that the new phonebook had been dropped off for my convenience. The only thing is...it's been YEARS since I have needed to use one! What about you? Do you still use it? Maybe a rolodex? A little black book? I was thinking that in 2023 the internet is our phonebook. Whether on the…
One word comes to mind when I think of tacos - YUM! I love tacos...hard or soft, it doesn't matter. I do prefer though that they be filled with ground beef rather than shredded beef, chicken, shrimp, fish, or anything else. I enjoy tacos with cheese, lettuce, tomato on them. I could also go for some Guacamole on there, and sour cream if we must. I also do enjoy them with some rice on the…
In what was probably the worst kept secret in this area for quite some time...Terry Francona has made it 100% official. He's done as Manager. Now the search for the next skipper begins, and we know one name that is NOT getting the job - because he declined to even interview...Sandy Alomar. It has probably always been a dream of Cleveland baseball fans to see Alomar, Lofton, Baerga, Thome, etc as the manager of this…
