Wow, it’s been a year since I’ve posted. A lot has been going on in that year. I was writing a disability column, monthly, for the Boulder Weekly newspaper.
Last week, the Boulder Weekly was shut down unexpectedly. The entire staff was let go and the owner is exploring salvaged property options.
This is heartbreaking. I’ve lived in this area for a couple of decades and the Boulder Weekly has always been a constant.
Not only is my news source, it was a way to connect with the Boulder community. This is an also a blow to the disability community as my column was spreading disability awareness that is still needed.
I’m looking into other publications and hope to find a new home for the Disability Column. If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way. Until then I will blog.
I’m also flying to Buffalo, New York today. First time back since my illness, 11 years. How far I’ve come since the last time that I’ve been in Buffalo.
Just the fact that I live independently wasn’t an option to me back then. Hell, I go waterskiing regularly now.
I’m flying alone and staying in an accessible hotel. My good friend, Jaidee, is already there. We will definitely have a good time. I’m also going to get together with old friends and colleagues, shout out to Jaleco! I’m definitely looking forward to the next few days!
