At least we know our wheel chairs are strong!
















Greetings everyone,












As usual, it has been an exciting week for my wife and I. We were fortunate enough to attend the Abilities Expo held in Anaheim California. I have attend this program for over ten years now, and am still amazed to see many old as well as new faces.





There is no one else I would have rather been with at this program then my dear wife Cathy whom made her first visit to the Abilities Expo.





My wife won't leave me alone, until I find a way to get her a brand new pinball machine!! That's not to say, that I didn't have a great time playing pinball, but my wife is a bit more persistent then I am. We both scored pretty high on the scoreboards which made it difficult to stop playing.










***On a side note...is there anyone out there who is looking to donate a pinball machine?? My wife and I would forever be in your debt!***










After a nice lunch, my wife and I made our way to our favorite place on earth.....located not too far from the Expo, "Disneyland"!





Now, on a side note to our readers, my wife and I had commended how well Disneyland had begun preparations for wheelchair friendly rides and attractions, but, this past Sunday, we may have to revise that statement.





After a joyful ride upon the park's touring train, there was a miscommunications between conductors. As we know, there is a front and back conductor to every train. Unfortunately, the back conductor thought it was safe for my wife and I to exit.....he was wrong.





The train's ramp had lowered, but, the train was still moving and I nearly was crushed. I was a bit shook up, but the Disney staff was extremely sorry and offered us free dinner as that was the least they could do.





**As a lesson to everyone, make sure any moving vehicle is fully stopped.***





Other then that, my wife and I still had a great time and plan to return this coming Saturday.










We will have more this following Tuesday!!










Randy and Cathy Horton
