Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I needed this article when I was retiring Trix. If you’re in the middle of retiring a guide dog, and get someone who asks you a million questions about when does a guide dog retire, and where do they go when they retire, etc. instead of explaining until you’re blue in the face, just send …

So…as seems to be the thing lately, I’m late with marking some important Trixie dates. A week ago Wednesday, she turned 9, and this Tuesday that just passed was the day she came home with me…while I wore that big ol’ knee brace. That was 7 years ago. Woe. So, I’m going to do my …
Har har that was corny. It’s April 6, a day that became special last year. Why? Because it’s Tans and my graduation day. On that day, we officially became a team, and the next day, we came home together. So, Tans has officially lived through a year of my crazy life…and still appears to be …
I don’t have much time to write this, but I figured I would try. Yesterday marks the anniversary of when I got Tansy. Can anyone else believe that’s possible? The only way I know for sure is that dates don’t lie. She came into my room in her maniacal fashion, and I pretty much fell …
So, there was a bonus video of kids reacting to rotary phones. It’s amazing that they could come up with that much good bonus footage. Here it is. Enjoy. I feel really really old. Apparently I’m supposed to be dead by now!

It’s been a while since I’ve written Tansy updates, so here’s a bunch. As I was combing the blog to make sure I hadn’t already written some of these things, I laughed at the following passage: “So Tansy’s first winter has arrived, and we’ve had a few challenges, but nothing like what Trix and I …
This is a pretty cool concept. To all the people who say Braille printers can’t be made cheaper, I say here, have a real live working Lego Braille printer. Sure, for now it only does the letters a-z, but that’s one amazing start, and one smart kid. Plus, he’s making it open source, which means …
I have mentioned several times that the people in Kitchener have been super friendly and super helpful. But sometimes, my good lord, they can be a little too friendly. Here’s an example. I’ll be standing at the bus stop. The bus will arrive. But people are getting on and off, so I’m being caughtious. People …
Now that I’ve written about the Enzyte hotel, I figured I’d write about another commercial, or couple of them, that I’ve meant to write about for months. Out of the blue, these commercials appeared for this Mio stuff. From the audio, I had no friggin idea what this stuff was, but it didn’t sound good. …
