Well damn it all. This is some pretty sad news. I’ve talked about Talks before and how cool it is. Now, I just heard that Torsten Brand, the Product Manager for Talks and Zooms, has died from complications of surgery. He was only in his 40’s. By all accounts, Torsten was an awesome individual. If …

Canada’s Last Known World War I Veteran Dies At 109
Anyone who knows me knows that I have 0 time for war. I think it’s one of the stupidest, most pointless things that humans have ever come up with. But at the same time, I also have infinite respect for those who are willing to risk their lives to fight in one. With that said, …

Bye-Bye Big Lu
Well, I can officially say it now. Luther is gone. I was afraid his time was sooner rather than later, but it’s never easy when it happens. As I’ve said before, Luther was the first guide dog I saw a lot of. He was always so chilled, but so unbelievably dedicated. But man he could …
Bye-bye, Harley
I have mentioned my mom’s cat a few times over the course of the blog. She’s the one who has a hate on for Trix. I think it’s more fear than hate, but it was always displayed as a big ol’ hiss. She was never a big fan of new people. When friends came over …

Well darn it, I just found out that Muscular Dystrophy finally got Jesse Davidson. He was all over the news. He was the Jesse’s journey guy. He and his dad raised a lot of money and awareness about MD. I’m sure he has left quite a legacy. He lived to be 29, which is pretty …
The Service
Well, I made it through my cousin’s service yesterday…although I can’t say the same for several kleenexes. Poor dad, I blew through his entire stash, and he had to get more! Poor, poor dad. The church was jam packed full of people, so much so that the minister had to go get more chairs. There …
I’d Ask Why, But There’s No Use
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write about this. Maybe I’ll start writing and see what happens. I just found out yesterday that a cousin of mine killed himself. We didn’t see him very often, but when we did see him, we used to play with him. He was little and we were way …
So Long, Ed Eames. I Never Knew You, But Thank You
The other day, I heard that Ed Eames wasn’t doing well and was probably not going to make it. Now, I’ve heard the news that he’s gone, and I feel like such an idiot for not knowing exactly who he was. I had seen the name in connection with guide dog-related advocacy projects, and knew …
