Parents Lead

I got in early to order my new iPhone 12 mini that is coming next Friday. Why a new iPhone? Does "reading the mail" surprise you? Add that to a cracked bucket for Oliver's water and a cleaner house and you have most of what's new for me.

Today's discussion includes the election, how nice it is to have children and grandchildren who care and the simple fact that, if it's ok today, that's about as good as it can be or ever gets.

I find myself in a new city, in a new house, by myself, blind and just me and Oliver -- my guide dog. Getting back behind the mic is an option that hasn't changed. I'll be podcasting more often and plan to talk about how to get along blind when experience does not serve very well. I know how to live blind but know little to nothing about doing it by myself. It is an unexpected adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Perhaps you will want to stop by now and then to take the journey with me.
