There have been a lot of requests for a video of my speech at last week's Blindfold opening. By popular demand, here it is via Vimeo, in high quality; you can also find it on youtube here. Both sites carry the speech in HD. Enjoy!

You need to run for King County Executive! You already know 3/4 of the population and know how to address mental health issues....
I bet you could balance the budget without cutting bus service, too!

Barbara, how great to hear from you!!! We really need to get to work with this executive stuff! You know I can't do it without you!

Not sure how I stumbled onto your blog, but I really appreciate your positivity in the speech. I've worked in hospitals and there's a similar conundrum with patients - we like to label them as 'good' and 'bad' - but the real challenge is how to get in that 'frame of mind,' as you call it, that makes us really want to connect with people no matter how much of the 'other' they appear to be. Best wishes to you!

Dale,
Thanks for taking the time to watch it! It's particularly great to hear such kind comments from someone who's been through the challenge you describe, and knows what that's like, and still appreciates the need for positivity. Best wishes right back!
