How about a little excitment out there?!

Hang in there people.  It won’t be long now.  Yeah, I know it’s snowing and temperature are in the 20’s.  Yeah, I know at my parent’s home in Ft. Myers, Florida, it’s in the 70’s.  My brother is riding with the top down in Ft. Lauderdale.  My sister is even enjoying some kind of spring in Louisville, Ky.

Fact is we’re stuck here.  We’re like the last people left on earth.  Imagine that for a moment.  People from Cleveland repopulate the earth.  Hummmm. That would mean no sports team in the globe would win a championship; more on that another time.

It’s time my good people to reverse our paralyzing anxiety.  Sure we’ll be anxious until we see the sun again but let’s mix that fear with a little excitement. Let’s associate that excitement with love and desire for summer on the North Coast.

We’re not emotional wrecks are we? Ok we are but lets stop covering up our fear of losing something, like flowers blooming, swimming, eating on the patio with a cheesy smile.  Let’s get going. It doesn’t have to be big move, just one small step at a time.

I know after this little pep talk that some of you are still feeling a like Squidward (SpongeBob) when he said “This city needs to be destroyed! Or at least painted another color.”

But I can see the truth out there. Warmer weather, sunshine, and barbeque. Stephen Colbert put it best by adding, “Sometimes it takes a crazy person to see the truth. If so, I'm a freaking lunatic.”

Hang in there people!

Bill

I've got friends in Cocoa beach. I'd move there myself but my daughter's here, and nothing could make me leave her.

I will admit this cold shot of weather is a little depressing. But, that's what keeps life here on the North Coast interesting! If you don't like the weather just wait till tomorrow, right? Well, maybe not tomorrow or well...Sunday or Monday for that matter. But, the warm weather is coming and there is no stopping it!

Pretty soon everyone will be complaining that it's too hot and that global warming is going to fry us all!!!

I'm gonna sit back and not worry about the things I cannot control and focus more on the things that I can! Like being happy! So, for now, I control the thermostat and it's on 74 degree's and now I am happy!LOL!

There's a bright side to everything! My sister in Orlando was complaining about the already 90 degree heat, but she did say there was "little humidity". I almost felt bad for her. As the human race continues to destroy mother nature changes will continue to occur. The unusual will become the norm...Bills got the right idea, deal with it! Make the best of it! Maybe snow is God's way of covering up all the trash we whip out the car window!

Yea Bill,Lets tell em! Heck I put on my winter gloves, throw my long johns on and head outdoors and fire up that grill. AInt nothin in the world than to smell those hot dog singing with juices, and the smell of that hamburger grease dripping down on those red hot coals to bring a smile to MY face. I just sit back on my frozen plastic outdoor chair and dream of that day it gets above 70. Yea I think we all here in Ohio are crazy fools but we love it.

I'm an Irish kid who grew up outside of Buffalo, New York. My mother and her family are from Ohio. I remember getting fabulous ice cream as a kid at the Isley's in Andover. It was a great treat on the way to grandma's. My uncles farm in Kinsman was Ohio’s Outstanding Regional Century Farm in 1999. I have called in the cows but was never any good at milking. I have many awards from my years in television but I hope this other stuff is more interesting. I also love golf and playing with the kids when I am not at the anchor desk. I need the rest from Stacey Bell. She's is very demanding of my time. Blessings to all who stop here.
