The story is a couple months old and I’m not sure this is still going on, but it’s worth noting anyway because when the RIAA comes down on the right side of things, you really are doing it wrong. If you work in the United States House of Representatives and like to pass your time …

Big Plastic Gulp
You can tell I don’t spend much time in 7-Eleven, because until now I had no idea that they have plastic breakfast sandwiches on display there. Neither, apparently, did this guy, who accidentally swiped two of them while trying to make off with the real thing. Around 3 a.m. today, police report that a man …
There’s No Place Like The Neighbourhood Police Station
Tip: If you’re going to head over to Applebee’s for some drinks, you might want to leave the stolen ID at home if you’re of legal drinking age. But if you absolutely must take it with you, spend a few seconds making sure that the face on it doesn’t look an awful lot like your …

New Guide Dog Journals Day 14
I’m exhausted but here goes. Got up and started packing. I was surprised at how well everything fit. I had a hard time eating, my stomach was doing acrobatics. Had our lecture on how grad was going to go and how our dogs will be pissed tomorrow due to lack of morning chow. Then it …
New Guide Dog Journals Day 13
It’s over? Yup it appears it’s over. I really should be attempting to shoehorn all this new stuff into my bags, but I want to write for a bit. So this morning we went to the instructors’ room, or the hotel room turned into that room, and had a big chat about going home, what …
New Guide Dog Journals Day 12
I’m tired. I had a hard time settling down to sleep. I was just so jazzed about this whole raiser call and thinking about the whole Friday dinner. I realize I’ve kind of suck at explaining how they do things in the new training. We don’t go everywhere together on a big ol’ bus. Now …
New Guide Dog Journals Day 11
Holy crap I can’t even keep track of what day it is. I’m writing this one up at the end…only this time I’m sitting up in a chair so if I fall asleep with my keyboard, I’m in trouble. Today started off with us all going to San Francisco. We all walked different routes. I …
New guide dog journals day 10
I’m exhausted. If I’m not careful, I may fall asleep with my keyboard. So we went to the lounge and waited for big evil traffic check man aka Adam. So for those who don’t know, the traffic route is the one where the class supervisor, or someone, drives at you from various positions so you …
Happy Blue Jays Opening Day, One And All!
I’ve been fairly quiet here lately, only popping in to post something quick now and then or to leave a comment on one of Carin’s guide dog training journal entries. Those entries are actually why I’ve been quiet. A lot of people are interested in them, many of whom aren’t regular readers. So I figured …

New Guide Dog Journals Day 9
Back to the grind with us all. I have no idea what this day will look like since everybody’s got their own customized routes to hit. I know tomorrow afternoon we go over to GDB campus but today is a great big mystery. Oh and thanks to Carolyn the awesome nurse, I have trimmed bangs. …
