 DK> willy, it's getting down to the wire for me, a week from sunday!

[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Dan,
     I still got 3 weeks to go, and I envy you quite a bit!  I am
getting extremely anxious at this point, realizing some pooch is
finishing up its training in preparation for gettin me!

 DK> thing is they have different commands and techniques.  instead

I am sort of curious about how this works out for you.  As I am sure
everybody realizes by now, I'm pretty set in my ways, and what may
appear like trivial matters to a person who doesn't use a guide dog can
be major hurdles for us.
    Well, good luck, but I bet any money you go back to your old habits
after you're home.  For some reason, I think you're a little set in your
ways too!
                                        Willie
 

... BlinkTalk, Dr. Deb and Silver in Pittsburgh!
