WIXY's Gone Bananas

Cliff Note: I originally posted this last week forgetting that Jessica was on vacation. According to my site meter she's back, so I'm moving this back to the top. Taking a look at my blogroll, I notice that bloggers from the southern states outnumber those from northern states. Jessica is from Michigan and proud of it. Why, I don't know. Keep in mind that I live in Ohio . Jessica loves cold weather and the activities that come with it. I discovered Jessica from Frasypoo's blogroll. The first thing I discovered was that Jessica is a photography nut. Second thing was that she is a proud band mom, like one of my best friends, Brenda . I first left a comment there when she took some pictures of her daughter Jordan at a band show. It was during marching season and we folks connected with our local marching bands seem to notice those things. Of course I have to interject here that Jordan's band, the Hartford Indian Emerald Vanguard , is a corps band, as opposed to the

Alright now! This is the post everybody's been waiting for.... Well, some of you.... Uh Pat, here's your post. Pat Jenkins is one of the political bloggers on my blog roll. A conservative, he is the Rush Limbaugh of posters here. He comes to us from Springfield, Ohio via the golden EIB (Excellence In Blogging) keyboard. He also secretly hopes that Hillary is elected president. That way Pat won't run out of anything to blog about for at least four years. The two of us kid each other, usually on the comment page. His other targets from this "family" are Frasypoo , who he refers to as Miss Poo , and Melanie of Monday Through Sunday fame. He calls her Miss Monday , which is what most of us would like to do. The day, that is. Pat keeps up on the issues of the day and will most of the time post his light hearted take on them. If you check his blog daily, it will give you the urge to keep up on important issues this election year. The name of his blog is Pat J.(at le

It is lunchtime and as promised I am posting another of my I Like...posts. Frasypoo , of This and That fame, is one of the most unique on my blog roll. Born in India, she came to this country to meet her husband. Being from a line of Christian missionaries, it's fitting that I regard her as a missionary from India to the United States, as this country has come to the point where we need some. When I was giving my Top Banana awards late last year, Frasypoo got the God and Country award. She come here, feet running and got very vocally inviolved with Republican Party politics. Those of us born here should follow her example. I also hear that she is a very good cook. Makes me want to go to Georgia and stop at her house for supper. But not to worry about her gaining too much because Frasypoo is also a runner and is training to run a half marathon. I have saved the best thing for last. I feel very confident in her relationship with the Lord, as I do many of my blog friends. Frasypoo ha

Boogity Boogity Boogity: Being married to a NASCAR fan, who can make a lucky guess, paid off for Mrs74WIXYgrad this morning. We were on our way to the Waffle House( ironic, isn't it ) and listening to Sports Country 104.5/WQKT Wooster, Ohio. 2 of my readers are former employees of that station, BizDecision and David5258 . The personality asked who of four drivers did not finish last years Daytona 500? Dale Jr., Elliot Sadler, Jeff Burton, or Mike Wallace? My wife started calling while asking me who it was. I first said Elliot Sadler, but after awhile I changed it to Dale Jr. She got on and gave the guess and it was right. She won a DVD of the Johnny Cash Show from 1969-1972. She was very excited. Congratulations to Frasypoo who has celebrated her second anniversary as an American citizen . On her post commemorating it she relates taking the test about government and United States history. Sad thing about that test is that there are many natural born American citizens who don&#
