I wrote this big post about my feelings about going to guide dog school and it’s all saved, but apparently this thing won’t let me paste from other apps into a browser edit field. You can paste between notepad and word processor but not between word processor and browser. Arg. So as soon as I …

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie The Computer Doctor…
I don’t know why this song appears in my head when I have to call these guys, but it does. I’m realizing that we have lived in this town for nearly ten years, and have used the services of Bernie the Computer Doctor, and I have never given them a plug, and that’s a shame. …

We Live!…Kind Of
So…sure has been a while, eh? Seems that last time either of us wrote something it was July 11th. It’s now July 21st. I’d say I was sorry for the quiet time, but honestly, I’d be lying if I were to do that. Carin still exists but not around here so much, and to be …

An Old Poem Has A New Reader
Sorry I haven’t written much over the past while. Believe me, I have a pile of stuff that caught my attention, and hopefully I won’t completely forget it all. Plus, I want to have something in the Assistance Dog Blog carnival, and the deadline is coming up…fast. So hopefully that means more posts from me…unless …
