Here's Those Links We Talked About

During the course of talking to my brother Drew on the Walk and Roll Live podcast we mentioned a few links to various websites.  One was the Access Leisure program in Sacramento, CA for disabled accessible activities. Here is that link... http://www.accessleisuresac.org/  We also were talking about Power Soccer, a game played in powered wheelchairs. Here's that link... http://youtu.be/CDgEt7rCweo. We mentioned an accessible baseball field in Sacramento where everyone could play the national past time. Check that out here... http://youtu.be/O7LfEVAjSEw.

We did it!  We finally found time in our busy schedules to sit down and record the second half of the conversation with my brother Drew Vincent. If you don't know, we both contracted Polio when we were young and shared the experience togther for the last 55+ years. We bring those experiences to the podcast at www.walkandrolllive.com. I shared my story and then we got to hear my brother Drew's story and see where the stories intersected.  Check out the latest installment on the website and be listening for more interviews on the disabled comminity coming soon.

I Have Bloggers Block

Well, I guess I'm not overwhelming you with blogs. I have to get into this writing thing. I've never been much of a writer. Once I get started I don't mind. I just write like I talk. I did have a little set back recently. It might be a good topic for the Podcast. I haven't been keeping up with that like I want to. I'm getting back on track now though. I have tons of guests lined up. There's no shortage there. I just have to start scheduling them and recording them and posting them. Simple. Feel free to harass me. If that's what it takes I can handle it. I appreciate the interest. Look for a new podcast soon. And many more to come. I promise. And check out WalkAndRollLive.com.
