Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
So, for the purposes of history, I’m posting a recording of my meeting with Domino. But I have to apologize for its quality. Without thinking, I recorded it while wearing my Aftershokz headphones which, while they’re pretty great, don’t record other voices in the room as well as the voice of the person wearing them. …

So off we go. neerome! Wee! Can you tell I’m on the plane? Yup. Dom cruised through the airport with no trouble. Ok, he might have slurped a TSA agent but hey! He was petting, er, patting him down! We went through the metal detectors and only metal-covered Domino set them off. But when they …
So it’s graduation day. Ready or not, here we come! You know, I should not have said nothing else exciting could happen. It wasn’t really exciting. It was more like irritating. I got the wash in and after the resident advisor made the machine actually go, I thought I was groovy. Then I came back …
Well…she made it. Today is the day that Carin and Domino officially graduate from guide dog class. If you’d like, you can watch along as they do. At 1:30 Pacific, 4:30 Eastern (the rest of you can figure that out for yourselves), the ceremony will be streaming live on YouTube. Assuming that everything works like …

Ee ee ee! Training is essentially over. All we have to do is go to the gift shop and get ready to get out of here. I’m mildly concerned that my suitcase might protest under the weight of old and new cargo and I might have to do some rearranging. But I’m not terrified, just …
Good day, and welcome to day 12. I just had to do that for my fellow Canadian in class. To find each other once, we made the Bob and Doug call. I’m sure the instructors thought we were loopy. I’m not sure what we’re doing. The schedule is a little vague. I think we’re going …
Man, that foot soak last night worked miracles on my poor feet. I wonder how long those effects will last. It’s Portland day. The day where we cram in all the city work. Malls, escalators, food courts, farmer’s markets, you want it, they’ve got it. We also talked about airports. I learned something new. Now …
Oof! That was a rough start to the morning. You know, Carin, if you stay up to 11:30 and you then take melatonin, and you want to be up by 6, maybe turn on your alarm. Good idea? Yup! After I was carried away to sleepy ville, the next sound I heard was “Hi there, …
It’s Monday and time to kick some custom route, sidewalkless and night route butt! I slept until 6 and I’m ready to rock. I have shaken off the fog and it’s time to kick it. It’s also the first of May. There’s a song about that, but if I mentioned that song to my classmates …
So it’s Sunday. My day off. It’s a thing. I didn’t take melatonin at the end of last night because I hoped I would only need a tweak. That was a fail. At not even 4, rise and shine! I did have to use the bathroom, but even after that, I couldn’t go back to …
