[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Remember yesterday when I checked in after having a bad day with 
Bad, Bad, LeeRoy Lab?  Remember how I told you that the trainers 
said that it was probably his testing of me, trying to determine 
if indeed I was the boss in this new relationship?
 
     WELL, HE'S ALL MINE NOW!!!
 
     I just came back from my second perfect walking of the high 
school route, and I couldn't be happier!!!  We encountered everything 
from the early morning trash cans in the middle of the sidewalk to 
a couple of lunatics on High Street that were obviously doing justice 
to the name, and navigated perfectly around them!  The several traffic 
checks thrown at us are still being talked about with admiration 
by those that witnessed them, and the bystander who nearly had a 
heart attack when he saw the Seeing Eye van turn right in front of 
us is recovering nicely after witnessing one of the quickest human/
dog stops ever, and I expect the solo tomorrow morning to be nothing 
but going through the formalities!
 
     Finally, and perhaps the only reason I am saying this is because 
of my elation at the moment, but it has to be said...
 
     If I had been using a cane for this trip, even if I were one 
of the best cane travelers I've ever seen, I'd still be walking the 
route, or perhaps be a hood ornament on a mini-van!
