Brailling Signs Is Cool To Do…Just Not In Song
Steve called it when he mused that the song I’m about to inflict upon you would enter the ranks of blinddollars.org. You know, the sentiment is great, and it might get the point across. But ugga yugga bugga! Maybe I just can’t stand corny. But because having more Braille signs would rock my life, and …

A couple of weeks ago, a reporter from the Guelph Mercury called our house looking for me. That’s not something that happens every day, so as I walked to the phone my mind raced through the last little while, trying to remember if I’d done anything stupid lately. Luckily, it turned out I hadn’t, even …
