As I rolled over the horribly cut curb I began to say to Joe, 'someone needs to talk to them about these curbs' and before he could say anything I say, 'but not me, not today'. So I do differentiate these things in my mind. Not an offensive question at all - thanks, DaveDave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-30525738468994739512012-06-16T15:05:22.201-04:002012-06-16T15:05:22.201-04:00I have a question which might offend - I don't...I have a question which might offend - I don't know....I hope not! So I'll ask it in a deferential tone.<br /><br />"not working when I'm not working"...I know that you do a lot of 'educating others' while you're out and about; you've written about wanting to do it, doing it, and sometimes not doing it because you don't want to. And you've been criticised in the comments for pretty much all of the above! <br /><br />Do you consider the education of others (i.e., speaking to a hot-dog stand proprietor at the beach today about accessibility if called for) to be part of work? Like, do you and/or Joe consider "Disability Activist" as your job, along with "Director of Clinical and Educational Services"? Or is more like a calling and therefore can't be relegated to 9-5?<br /><br />I don't mean to be impertinent and REALLY don't wish to appear to be casting aspersions. It just seems that it could be exhausting for both of you to feel that obligation to Be The Change You Wish To See In The World, even when you and Joe just want to st/roll along the boardwalk!<br /><br />(Like what I did there?!)<br />:-)Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704810407872873565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-51077432568353931392012-06-16T14:36:04.355-04:002012-06-16T14:36:04.355-04:00I'm curious as to what award you won at work. ...I'm curious as to what award you won at work.

Maybe Dave's unending reserve of energy is because he has developed the skill of fully working when he's working and not working when he's not working. This is a lesson for me as I have not yet developed this skill. I seem to work WAY too much when I'm not working because the work is never done. Is it any more done because of my working when I shouldn't? No, so lesson learned. Now for the practice. Enjoy the beach, Dave and Joe.Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213266574971461657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-10194143711843796752012-06-16T10:10:33.896-04:002012-06-16T10:10:33.896-04:00Today I wanted to take a moment to congratulate Da...Today I wanted to take a moment to congratulate Dave once more, on winning an award at work yesterday. The award represented the dedication and seemingly unending reserve of energy he has put into the work he does to create a safe and fulfilling world for people with disabilities. Yes I mean world. The impact of his work can be felt by people world-wide I am sure of that. Dave you have also opened up my world with the opportunities your have offered me. This given me a space for my belief system to launch into meaningful work so my little world has been changed by you.<br />Thank you and have a great time on the board walk YOU DESERVE IT!

There has to be a balance. <br /><br />Enjoy the boardwalk and say hi to Joe.Celinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928683745163070763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-36111149016338910142012-06-16T06:05:34.199-04:002012-06-16T06:05:34.199-04:00Sounds like you are learning to play!!!Sounds like you are learning to play!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
