Life's exciting, and we want to make use of it. The thing that is the additional thing for me, of course, is my hearing. I'm hearing impaired as well as blind. And I was thinking about travel, about transportation and crossing streets with my dog and I sort of got into anxiety mode, which fortunately I have enough training in doing deep breathing and so forth to keep that under control. But when you think about it, it's important, particularly when you're going into a new situation, particularly when we're blind, to do some pre-planning.
