Over the last couple of weeks I have been developing a podcast and website that I hope will educate others with disabilities on their legal rights and help them understand how to enforce them.

Me Singing Have a Holly Jolly Christmas
For the month of December, our American Council of the Blind karaoke theme will be holiday music. This is my submission for the December third show.
Me Singing Piano Man
Desiree has gotten me to try karaoke. Actually, I decided to sing to encourage her daughter to give karaoke a try. I wound up finding it fun. So, I am giving it a try.
Voting Feels Empty Now
I wrote a similar post prior to the 2020 election describing how disappointed I have become with American politics. I just finished my ballot for this year’s election, and filling it out left me feeling more disconnected than I felt from politics in 2020.

Fathers Get to Hide
One of the realities of adoption is that biological fathers get to hide. In most instances, very few people know they got a woman pregnant.

Recently, I have been thinking about my experiences as an adoptee and the experiences Mom has lived as… Continue reading I Will Contact my Biological Father
