I need to put this in your head, because it’s in mine. And I’m not even that big of a Star Wars fan. But somehow, I never noticed that the Indiana Jones theme slid into Star Wars too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntXJJwEk1NA For some reason, when I’m trying to get somewhere, and the route is tricky, I get …

Secret Secret, I Got A Secret
I need to confess something, because the TV is slowly driving me insane. There’s this commercial that keeps playing “Mr. Roboto” by Styx, and every time it plays, I want to hide. Here is why. Seven years ago, I was at one of the Toronto accessibility conferences. I attended a session about considering the elderly …
Tansy’s Massive Playlist
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
Dominotes
I have a bit of time, so I thought I would write about how Domino and I are doing, and what I have learned about him so far. He’s so good in the house, but he moves so quietly. He could get into a lot of mischief if he wanted to. Thankfully, most of the …
Anything But Boring: My Meeting With Domino
So, for the purposes of history, I’m posting a recording of my meeting with Domino. But I have to apologize for its quality. Without thinking, I recorded it while wearing my Aftershokz headphones which, while they’re pretty great, don’t record other voices in the room as well as the voice of the person wearing them. …

Anything But Boring: The Journey Home
So off we go. neerome! Wee! Can you tell I’m on the plane? Yup. Dom cruised through the airport with no trouble. Ok, he might have slurped a TSA agent but hey! He was petting, er, patting him down! We went through the metal detectors and only metal-covered Domino set them off. But when they …
Anything But Boring: Day 14
So it’s graduation day. Ready or not, here we come! You know, I should not have said nothing else exciting could happen. It wasn’t really exciting. It was more like irritating. I got the wash in and after the resident advisor made the machine actually go, I thought I was groovy. Then I came back …
Anything But Boring: Day 13
Ee ee ee! Training is essentially over. All we have to do is go to the gift shop and get ready to get out of here. I’m mildly concerned that my suitcase might protest under the weight of old and new cargo and I might have to do some rearranging. But I’m not terrified, just …
Anything But Boring: Day 12
Good day, and welcome to day 12. I just had to do that for my fellow Canadian in class. To find each other once, we made the Bob and Doug call. I’m sure the instructors thought we were loopy. I’m not sure what we’re doing. The schedule is a little vague. I think we’re going …
Anything But Boring: Day 11
Man, that foot soak last night worked miracles on my poor feet. I wonder how long those effects will last. It’s Portland day. The day where we cram in all the city work. Malls, escalators, food courts, farmer’s markets, you want it, they’ve got it. We also talked about airports. I learned something new. Now …
