I Can See Your Face
COVID 19 Update – I can see your face For the first time in my life since I was a wee lad and when I was dating I can see your face and I don’t like it. I never really learned facial expressions until I started dating. Before that very few people get close enough […]
What is Santa
What is Santa but a glimmer or shimmer of hope. I don’t remember what my Santa origin was other than I was in Calgary I was plump and CP Rail and Husky Oil needed a Santa Claus. This went on for a couple of years. There was a long pause in Santa as I had […]
#MeAsWell
My mentors are critical of the trajectory of my career. Apparently, I change jobs too often, sadly many times because of my disability, I’m not a good fit or the employer isn’t a good fit for me, or just blatant discrimination.

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better!!!
I regularly receive the comment, “I didn’t know you were blind!” I am what they call “high functioning”, which has always pissed me off. High functioning is a fancy way of saying I’m not blind, or I’m not blind enough. Lets stick purely with the facts, I am blind; yes I still have some […]
