Loved seeing the first #nebraska #husker football game of the season, even though the outcome wasn’t what I wanted, but holy cow the radio delay in Huntington Bank Stadium was horrible! At least 45 seconds behind the actual game. Super glad we passed the resolution at #nfb23 about this and I realize how spoiled I am by places like the #baltimoreOrioles. Now back to practice and on to week 2 #huskers.
@President threw out the first pitch at the Astros game after #NFB23 with many members supporting from the stands. Blindness can be a real curveball for some, but blind people are an essential part of the team. This year's National Convention was another homerun.

I just got a "thank you" email for attending the #NFB23 Convention virtually. It thanked participants and hit on key highlights there in and was a very nice touch. #Comms well-done over there @Mastodon at nationsblind@nfb.social
Now let's see #ACBNational #ACB23 follow suit.
So, just attended one of the after-events for #NFB23 and. um, I was…the only one there…
I do honestly notice that NFB has done a rather meager job promoting the events after convention and I can’t even find them anymore on the schedule on the app.
The event was informative, but…a bit awkward…
@robbiec12345 the nights did count on my reservation. #nfb23.
@robbiec12345 give them a call and ask, #nfb23. Your toot reminded me to do this.
@robbiec12345 I received points, and the nights, but I don't think they counted towards elite status, because I should have upgraded to gold after that stay but I'm still silver. #nfb23
For anyone that attended #NFB23 and gave their Hilton Honors number when booking, did you receive points and/or elite night credit? I received points from the stay but no elite night credits. I'm guessing this is to do with either it being a special rate and/or booking through passkey rather than HH directly. I guess I won't be chasing Honors elite status after all.

@DerryLawlor @brianhartgen @lulu_bear Very awesome. Just before #NFB23 Convention I got my first Olympus recorder. It is a WS852. It does not have speech but for my first recorder it is pretty cool. Since I started college several years ago I have just been recording on a Victor reader that is screaming at me that it's dying now, or my iPhone/iPad. I was ready for an upgrade.

This is one night I just can't sleep. I've had this aggravating cold since I came back from #NFB23. As a result, my sleep is way out of whack. I have hardly any energy to concentrate on anything. An unproductive week so far.
Back at work after a week away for #NFB23. It feels weird to say but I'm glad to be back. Apparently, I actually like my job. Go figure. Happy Monday, y'all.
@JonathanMosen So glad you made it home safely! But even more than that, I'm so glad you came and spoke at #NFB23! Powerful words!
It felt so good to sleep in my own bed last night. It's good to be home! What an amazing convention. #NFB23
