Don’t let the fact that you had records as a child make you feel old, Gill. Vinyl is big business now. If your family had an 8-track collection like mine did, let that make you feel old instead. Next October I hit a milestone when I turn 40, which has me feeling old lately. Here …

Movies And TV
I respect that everyone has their own way of doing things, but I’m so glad that my family never told me I couldn’t watch or listen to things like Gill’s did. A: It doesn’t work. Kids will always find a way to get their hands on the forbidden fruit, which tastes sweeter and is extra …
The Letter
To mark the anniversary of his death, Gill wrote a couple of letters to a dear friend. Here they are. If you read the site about four years ago at this time, you would know that the world lost one of its finest people. Here are just a few things I’d tell him if I …
My Nerd Palace
Gill is imagining what her dream house would look like. I haven’t thought about mine in so long that the last time I did, the main feature was going to be a giant room dedicated to nothing but my music collection. But thinking about it now, I could probably use that room for something else. …
It Just Made Me Happy
Gill is thinking happy thoughts and memories of her grandma today. As for an answer to her question, it wasn’t a specific place, but I remember when I was young my grandpa and I would often drive around to nowhere in particular while chatting about nothing in particular.

Three Percent Of The Time
Since she spent some time the other day talking about some of her experiences with the public as a blind person, Gill is back to tell you how much she can actually see. But contrary to what she says below, Carin does have some usable vision. It’s helpful enough that she’s able to do things …
Two Meals In One
You enjoy this wee bit of strangeness from Gill while I make lunch, get back to catching up and continue mildly disliking technology. As the tag says, computers are great when they work. Do you like breakfast? Do you like lunch? Combining the two often makes brunch, but not always. Have you ever had an …
Ordinary Heroes
Gill is back to remember some tough times and thank the people who helped her through them. You’ve probably heard that “local heroes` segment on your local news report, the one that talks about the paralyzed drunk driving victim that goes around to schools around prom, or the local mother who gives Bible studies and …
Curiously Awkward
Gill returns to talk a little bit about some of the different people that blind folks tend to run into in our travels. Having limited eyesight has made me become quite used to having to swallow my pride at times and ask for help. Unfortunately, not all help is created equal. Here are a few …
