Ok, I just came back from the walk from hell. I figure something good has to come out of it, so I’m going to blog about it, in the hopes that it will help people be more helpful and less likely to get yelled at. Let me just describe what happened, and then I’ll break …

Akron Shitty Center
I would hate to be Shawn Pouliot right now. But if the story went the way he says it does, I hope he wins the lawsuit. According to him, he went to a downtown Akron hotel, the Akron City Centre Hotel, one night, and had an unfortunate accident where his colostomy pouch broke, spreading its …
Adam Growe Was Fun, But I Didn’t Win Any Money
On Saturday, Steve, the shoe thief, another friend and I went to see Adam Growe, the guy who is the host of the Canadian version of Cash Cab. He was atthe River Run Centre. The way it was described sounded super weird. He was going to do a little one-man play, and then some kind …

A Cadillac On A Mission
This is a pretty cool story. Cadillac was a GDB puppy, but they decided that he just wouldn’t make it as a guide dog. So he became a search and rescue dog, and now he’s headed for Haiti to put his rescue skills to definite use. Good luck to him and his handler. Years ago, …
Guilt Marches On?
The other day, I was complaining to Steve that I haven’t had any good dreams to blog about in a while. Well, I got a whole wack of them, and the weird thing is if the message of the dreams is what I think it is, I can only believe that part of my own …

Trixie Observations
I haven’t done a little post all about Trixie in a while. Here are a few things I’ve noticed over the past few months that I thought needed mentioning. The shoe thief, who Trixie thinks is all different kinds of awesome, is a big fan of A Boat like Gideon Brown by Great big Sea. …
Body-Scanners and Guide Dogs
I have a small update to the body scanners story. A member of a guide dog email list found out that it is advised that us guide dog handlers get the pat-down because the body-scanners are small, making it hard for man and beast to fit in them, and emit a noise that may bother …
The Biggest News Of The Holidays
Holy crap, I am a giant idiot! This was supposed to get in my holiday post under the I’m not supposed to ever leave because stuff happens while I’m gone files. Shame on me for forgetting! Smack smack smack! I come back from holidays, and Steve keeps mentioning that I have one important email. I’m …
The Long-Awaited, Long Holiday Post
I always write a post about the holidays. It’s just a matter of when. I’m crazy, and want to get through the easy stuff first before I sit down and crank out a giant epic. But it seems writing the holiday epic has become the thing I’ve done since Steve and Matt let me come …
