What Ryan is up too.

A lot of my mental facilities at work are being taken up by an upcoming fundraiser for HD radio. For those of you who are unfamiliar HD radio is much clearer and crisper, allows us to have more the one channel, and will eventually be the only type of radio out there. All of your analog radio sets well, sooner or later, be obsolete. Probably later.

WEEC is going to have a one day fundraiser on September 13th to cover the costs of the new equipment. So I've been trying to make catchy Promos for it. You could here them on WEEC or here at your leisure.

A Camping Trip!!

The time has arrived. I'm taking the guys from our youth group camping. And I'm talking real camping. No sissy campgrounds for us. We are going to one of the guy's Dads property over in northeastern Ohio, near Amsterdam and New Philadelphia. We took toilet paper because there are no bathrooms. One evening we will only eat what we can catch and kill. (until we get really hungry and then we break out the leftovers) This could end up making really cool memories, you know like "hey remember that time we almost died from all the mosquito bites?" Or, "that was really cool that time when Cole had a tick the size of a golf ball" Hopefully we survive, and I bring pictures home.

I dislike being sick

I mean, who doesn't. This past week was the annual conservative mennonite conference, this time being held in Goshen, IN. I started feeling kind of scratchy on thursday, and by Friday I had a full blown cold. Over the weekend it developed into a sinus infection. I've never had one of these before and I'm hoping that this is the last time I do. You can read about the condition here. Basically, air pockets in your face and head get infected and fill up with mucus. My face hurts. I stuck it out for a while, but since it doesn't seem to be going away on it's own and your sinuses are also responsible for much of the resonance in your voice, I finally went to the doctor today. I have production I need to get done at the station and it would help if I could talk. It is also difficult for me to go to sleep. The Doctor kindly prescribed an antibiotic and a nasal decongestant. The latter also nicely tells me that I shouldn't drive or operate heavy machinery, at least till I know how it affects me. Um... I need to get to work tomorrow, so I'm going to be driving. Luckily I don't feel woozy yet.

Other than getting sick conference was fun, although whoevers idea it was not to provide Nursery care in the evenings and on Sunday morning should really reconsider for next year. It means that parents of young children might as well stay home.
