<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The hand of the man who had pressed the button fell back onto the bed. “Oh, blast!” he mumbled. “I better get up. Got to meet my friends at the park in less
than an hour.” Stretching, he rolled out of bed and groggily shuffled across the small apartment toward the bathroom and soon, his closet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Where’s that shoe gone to now...? Ow! Stupid place for a shoe to be!” After a big yawn, he continued talking to himself, “Let’s see now what all is on the agenda
for the day... Meet Tommy and Sherry at the park by our favorite bench...maybe I can talk them into grabbing a corndog at the vender that usually hangs around there. Then there was talk about going to somebody's place to do some music or watch a descriptive
video. Wonder who will pay to rent this one? Not me this late in the month!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Tying the laces on the first shoe as he thought of another one of his closest friends from his days at the school for the blind, he again thought out-loud, “It
won’t be Mike’s place, like Sherry was thinking. Bet she doesn’t know…poor dude will be back at work. Guess his forced vacation, being laid off, came to a halt. Too soon, too bad, buddy! Well...,” he struggled to untie a knot in the laces of the second shoe,
“Work is okay. However, not for all, that's just not the way I want to do it. Not if I don’t have to or want to. Nope.” He shook his head emphatically.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“I’m making it pretty good. Got my monthly check from the big G. I'm living in some good public housing and there are other support programs around if I need
them.” Pulling on his second shoe, he said, “I've got a lot to look forward to every day. If the mailman drops off that new best seller I ordered in Braille from the library, I'll stay home tomorrow. Stretching the old intellect is good stuff!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Searching for his cane, his thoughts culminated on this topic which he and his blind friends had hashed over many times. He said as he had said before, “There
are the lifestyles of the rich and famous, there are the lifestyles of the blind which could be one and the same, but...with circumstances, breaks, and choice...I am, who I am. At the end of the day, guess the key is to like yourself, and I do.” Stepping outside,
the door clicking locked, he walked away whistling a cheery rendition of "Popeye, the sailorman."

They now also have a grant program, which has supported our BELL Academy and Camp Abilities at Boys Town, a recreational program for kids from 9 to 19. Both programs help the participants develop confidence. This year they are changing it a bit, and are providing
a program to help seniors with technology called ANTS, Access to Nonvisual Technology for Seniors. It's not off the ground yet, but they hope to work directly with Commission staff, who have the go-ahead to be among the service providers if they want to. They
can help find students and trainers (for example a current or past client). The Friends would then pair up the student and trainer. There will be up to $1000 in a grant and up to $100 per student, helping up to ten people. It will be keyed to teaching someone
one specific thing. Also, the Friends of the Commission is doing a fund-raiser with Schwan's through March 23.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
