It seems to be feast or famine with blog post topics. Tracy’s visit gave me two in one day. Right now I’m kind of blank.
Steven suggested that I write about my new job at Remington Arms. That is a business — alas, no longer locally owned — that has been in Ilion for over a hundred years. I agree it is well worth a post, but I intend to research the company a little better. Otherwise my post might consist mostly of my adventures wandering around the factory trying not to get lost (then again, that might be humorous).
Today I met with the optician, Chuck Mishalanie, to order my safety glasses (I did not get lost going to his office). I noticed his email was jazzmish. I naturally asked him about it, and discovered he is indeed a jazz musician. He promised to email me regarding future concerts. Another blog post waiting to happen.
Another blog post I’ve been meaning to get to is a shout out (I love that expression) to YNN. YNN, in case you don’t get Time Warner Cable, stands for Your News Now. It is basically a 24 hour news network for Central New York. When we’ve missed WKTV News at Daybreak, we tune into YNN for our morning fix. They do various features, including Your Home Town, which may suggest future blog posts for me. I’m particularly fond of Cooking at Home with Dan Eaton.
I hesitate to give YNN a full blog post, however, because it is not the local home grown sort of thing I search for. It’s a big network, carried exclusively (maybe even owned by, I don’t know) an even bigger cable company. Obviously there is room in the world for large corporations. But this is not the focus of Mohawk Valley Girl. Still, YNN has a local slant. It’s worth checking out.
So lacking a real topic, I fear to be thrown back on something I’ve blogged on before: a walk with my excellent dog, Tabby. I’ve been taking her for a lengthy walk most evenings lately. Often we walk by the Historic Four Corners, with the Reformed Church, the Courthouse, the Historical Society, and the 1834 Jail. I’ve blogged about the church. I guess it’s time for me to work on the other three corners.
Well, it looks as if I’ve written the amount of an average blog post. It seems I can talk a lot without a topic.
