Hey, cool! The article I wrote for the captioning advocacy group I belong to, CCAC, came out today. (By the way, you might want to join the CCAC.)
After I CARTed four hours of medical school this morning, I harvested broccoli and asparagus and scallions and spinach from the garden, and then I cleaned out the garage [somewhat] and cleaned out the refrigerator and brought two carloads of trash and recycling to the transfer station and made a delicious dinner with the aforementioned fresh veggies [and wine] and whole wheat pasta and salmon.
Oh, and I gazed lovingly upon the new hardwood floors that were installed yesterday in the final two rooms in the house.....
Ahhhhh. The beauty of red oak.
And then tonight this crossed my Facebook page, and I just had to share it:
Is anyone still wondering why I haven't been blogging as often, and wondering what I'm doing with all my time?
omg, the floor is GORGEOUS!!
I am well aware of quite a bit of what you've been doing... ;D

I want Typepad to give the ability to "like" the comments in our blogs. Geesh. I'm always coming in here to do just that, and then realize...oh, wait. That's not for here.

That's really a fabulous video! ... off to see if I can find it online... the ipad is great for laying in bed and reading blogs, but not so much for actually sharing anything on fb.
What I loved about the video is its silence... we have no idea. (we the hearing have no idea...)

Totally awesome video! And, OMG, the floor! The floor! ::swoon, thud::
(Yeah, it's an exclamation overload post.)

Wonderful video! The inaccessible quote is brilliant.

Norma, you do have the BEST things! I posted a link to the video on facebook and then tagged my state senator with a comment on how this is something that should be pushed for all state and local meetings and sessions.
p.s. the floor is gorgeous!

Love hardwood floors. First thing I did when we moved in our new home in Ohio -- ripped up the carpet and installed hardwood floors in the few places that didn't have it already. The video is great! I taught deaf children and know first hand the frustration they had. Thanks for posting the issue.

Hi Norma, I work in accessibility and Assistive technology. I passed your article on to some colleagues who are tweeting it around! Thanks a lot!

Add the wine and stir vigorously to ensure nothing is sticking to the pan, then add the chicken stock, rosemary and preserved lemon. Stir in the mustard and mix well, then turn down the heat, cover and allow to simmer for 15 mins or so, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is beginning to reuce and thicken.
