I would also. I can remember a time when I wouldn't have wanted any mention
of blindness. Now I feel differently, yet certainly don't want to be
exclusively pigeon-holed. I'm often good with words, so would be happy to
participate and help if I can.

Hey,
Yep. I'll be around on Skype, MSN and all such usual suspects most of the
weekend as Karen must work both days. I may be gone for awhile on Sunday
afternoon but that is not certain. Wanna set a time?
