I just heard this song from the Holderness Family a couple of days ago, and now it won’t leave me alone. It’s a good thing it’s a good song. In fact, sometimes when I get distracted by something, or forget why I came in a room, or think about things at the exact wrong time, …

Chuuuuuuuck is Retiiiiiiiring!
If you don’t know what that title said, it was my best impression of my reaction to the news that Chuck is Retiring at the end of July. When I got the email that Chuck Farrugia, my field representative for Guide Dogs for the Blind was retiring after 33 years of amazing service to all …
Cicadas, Domino, and You
I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …
Sleep Talkin’ 5. The Bit, I Believe, Is Still Alive!
In our last installment of let’s make fun of what Carin says in her sleep, I thought this little bit would be a thing of the past now that Santa had arrived. But apparently, it still has some life in it, although a little less. There’s one interesting pattern we have noticed: if there is …

I’m Here From The Stats Can, There’s Nothing To Fear?
Hi! It’s me, ya know, the completely absentee blogger? I don’t think I’ve written anything since…January? Gees! I have a metric boatload of things I want to say, but this one feels kind of timely and important. The other day, I was working away and my phone rang. I didn’t recognize the number but for …

This Should Be Funny, But I’m Crying
Because it’s still New Year’s Day, I thought I’d make fun of myself because there are certain Christmas comedy bits that no matter how many times I hear them, they still make me cry. Not laugh until I cry, just straight up cry. Here they are, in no particular order. First, there’s what would happen …
Are Guide Dogs Pets? No!
I keep meaning to post this video because it’s cute, it’s well-done, both in the descriptive sense and the informational sense, and the kid almost sounds like I sounded like as a kid. At least I think so. Hopefully someone will find it handy.
Here Comes 2024
Hi there. It’s me, the biggest absentee blogger in history. Since I started going back to the office, even though I have more energy thanks to ol’ Santa the CPAP machine, I can’t seem to find the time to write, even though I have a great heap of ideas. So…um…it’s 2024. I say this every …
If You Randomly Hear Me Singing “Kiss a Wookiee, Kick a Droid”, I haven’t completely lost it.
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. For some reason, when I’m trying to get somewhere, and the route is tricky, I get the …
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 …
