I stumbled across this and for the life of me can not remember who has the blind and deaf wife [I know there was something in his Bio about it, but I can't seem to find it]. I just read a post of his in the last coupla days and i can't figure out where it was/is. I was hoping to get this to him. Pretty neat stuff.
