Visual art and my interview about a painting of Tulia and me.
Yesterday, I was honoured to accompany the artist and now also my friend Karen Bailey to a human rights art exhibit. The painting that Karen did of my guide dog Tulia and me was selected for the exhibit. This is an interview conducted by a woman interviewing all of the artists at the exhibit. She talked to Karen and I about our picture.
Enjoy.
One of the things I love about Karen is that she is good at describing and describes in a very vivid way. She wants to paint more pictures of us too so stay tuned.

Performance I am involved in.
Ottawa StoryTellers present
A Case of Red Herrings, a mystery-comedy
It is July 1927. In just a few weeks two members of the Royal family are to
arrive in Ottawa. City officials have decided to produce an entertainment
for the royal visitors. They hire a somewhat questionable director and rent
Haverstock House, a once fine manor that is now in sorry shape because the
owners are broke. In fact, Mr. & Mrs. Kensington, will do almost anything
for money. All nine of the locals who audition for a part in this
entertainment have shady pasts and ulterior motives. They are joined by a
love-smitten genealogist, a good-natured lady of the evening, and assorted
other eccentric characters. If you like Queen Victoria impersonators, a
touch of romance, and a good laugh, then this is for you.
When: October 17,18, & 19
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Where: Billings Estate National Historic Site, 2100 Cabot Street
Tickets: $15 from the museum at 613-247-4830 or at the door. (Advanced
purchase highly recommended as seating is limited.)
More information: info@ottawastorytellers.ca, or 613-731-1047 or

Back to the blog. guide dogs and more.
It has been way too long. I miss blogging and must get back to it daily. I love it but also it really gives me great ideas for storytelling tales and also helps me to keep writing. I love writing.
Two of my friends are getting new guide dogs very soon.
One guide dog died last year and the other one is retiring after many years of faithful service.
So, today, I am grateful for all of my guide dogs.
Getting a new guide dog is such an emotional rollercoaster.
There is of course excitement. That feeling of christmas day.
But sadness as you miss the old partnerships.
On dog day, (yes we call it dog day) I always remember all previous guides.
It is like they are all there with me.
So there is a sadness. An anxiety, will this work out?
So many emotions.
My current guide dog (guide dog number 4) is laying here by my feet in the sun, snoring peacefully.
I have grown to love her snoring although at first I thought I would never get used to it.
I hug her and thank her for all she does.

performing tonight at nuit blanche in Ottawa.
tonight, I am involved in a very interesting project.
Painter Karen Bailey painted 6 storytellers and 1 guide dog.
She is exhibiting all paintings and the storytellers will take turns telling stories in front of the pictures.
I will be on hand between 7 and 9 PM tonight.
The project is called “Speaking and Still,” am innovative co-presentation by artist Karen Bailey and the Ottawa Storytellers(see http://www.karenbailey.ca/ and http://www.ottawastorytellers.ca/), running from 6:30 p.m Saturday to 2:00 a.m Sunday morning.
Karen was fascinating for me to work with as we talked a lot about the similarities between our art forms and she described all visual things in words I could understand.
I thank her for that.

Back to school. How things have changed.
How school has changed in just a few short decades for people with disabilities.
I started my school career at Carleton University.
NO I wasn't a genius. It was a special pre-school for kids with disabilities. Maybe other kids too.
I went there first when I was three I think.
yesterday, as I moved with my guide dog through the very crowded halls of Carleton, I thought about that.
I was moving through the carleton halls to go and co-host our radio show "Welcome to my world" a show by, for, and about people with disabilities.
I would have thought it was very cool then that I was hosting a radio show.
I always loved the radio, records, radio plays, music, and sound.
When I started school, there were no talking computers, fancy braille displays, smart phones, or tiny recording devices.
books were not available electronically.
I learned to type on a huge typewriter. I could not proof read my work although the touch typing I still do and am doing right now in fact, is most useful.
I learned to braille on a huge and heavy perkins brailler and although I don't use it often, I use braille on my braille display all of the time.
I used huge tape recorders to have people read books and articles and input music for me.
Now I use my phone or a tiny recorder that fits in my pocket.
Although things have changed and evolved gratly, still those basic skills I started to learn at CArleton all those years ago, still help me every day.
Knowing how to navigate my environment using sound cues, touch, smell. Reading and writing braille, touch typing, advocating for myself. All of these skills are the same and still so very important.
