Holy crap it’s happening. I’m on the plane. I’m on the plane I’m on the plane! Man oh man what an early rise this morning. I’m so glad I packed yesterday afternoon. It was such a relaxed day yesterday. I had everything planned out. I was actually able to enjoy having mom and dad around. …

Odd Combination Of Things Number 3
Sorry for not having this posted sooner, but between seeing a friend I don’t see much, setting up my new computer, going away to see family, seeing something that made me profoundly upset [possible post to come on that one], running around getting a bunch of things done so I don’t have to think about …
A Shining Star
I knew something was missing in that hodgepodge. Man, even though my sleep is much better, thanks to probably a decreasing list of things to do, and sleepytime tea, my sleep is still somewhat screwy and that leaves me absent-minded and doing a lot of stupid stuff. Like today for example. Every time I went …
Thought Hodgepodge
I just felt like posting about a bunch of stuff, and since this is going to be the last bit of sanity I have before my life gets turned upside-down by guide dog school and puppy’s arrival, not that I’m complaining, I figured I should take it! So it’s 3 days to go, can you …
R.I.P, Richard Jeni
I was saddened to hear about the weekend suicide of Richard Jeni, who was without a doubt one of the world’s greatest comedians.

The Next Phase in the Guide Dog Saga
I hope this post doesn’t bore too many people, but I thought someone might be interested in this, so off we go. I got my acceptance package from Guide Dogs on Wednesday, and it’s pretty cool. Man, these people think of everything. They even sent luggage labels with pictures of dogs on them that you’re …
Well Doesn’t That Suck Donkey Balls?
Well shit. It appears that this donkey thing isn’t even real. Apparently, it was made up to see how many people would report it as news, and I guess they made asses out of us among many. Damn them. But I have to say this has only happened to us once before, so I guess …
Coolness
I just got a pretty cool call. I finally sent that thank you letter I’ve been meaning to send to TD bank about their talking bank machines. They called to thank me for sending the letter! Not only that, but they told me that if I had any further feedback about the machines, I have …
