I went with the AB based on the fit. The rechargeable batteries and the good customer support I had when I contacted the company for info and follow up questions.

I am pretty sure I am going to set up a blog and post it all on there, I will let you all know when I get some word on the surgery.

Festus. He went to school with my sister and is a really cool guy. I have known him for a LONG time.

I just bought Deaf Again by Mark Drolsbaugh and Traing Go Sorry by Leah Cohen. Also some books from the Dresden Files (I love those books) and a new ASL dictionary.

When he is in town I do. He wrestles :) Its cool to get to see him.

That was me all through school, all through work, heck even still sometimes today. I say yes and nod and god only knows what I have agreed to. I love reading Mark's stuff, he is a great writer.
