I just received a text from my mom that read: I’m RETIRED! It made me strangely weepy. My mom is the hardest working person I know. She used to build helicopters and was in a Budweiser commercial during the “For all you do, this Bud’s for you!” advertising phase. My mom helped wire a helicopter for the NYPD … More Take This Job & Shove It!

An older deaf couple we’ll call the Wilsons regularly visited … More It’s a Small (Deaf) World, After All
Saturday night I saw a childhood friend who was in New York on vacation. Our grandfathers and our parents grew up together at the deaf school in Oklahoma, and my brother & I grew up with him and his sister.
