Daniel Greene

Today is the end of my first week of a three-month sabbatical. I was hoping to post at least something as short as a haiku poem every day, but I didn’t feel like it. I’m determined not to do things I don’t feel like doing unless they have to be done. Here I’ll share some of my observations of week one, in no particular order. Thank God It’s Friday (TGIF) does not apply I woke up this morning,…

Good times on winter vacation!

I finally fulfilled a dream of singing the theme song from the TV show “The Love Boat” on a cruise. A fellow passenger recorded this for me while I sang karaoke. Fun!

On cuddling both women and men

I have cuddled with both men and women— not yet with people of other genders, though I would be happy to do so.There are a couple of professional woman cuddlers who have held me and touched me in ways that released tears— sobs, even! I would be willing to cry with another guy, but for some reason that hasn’t happened yet. Maybe there was something motherly and healing about those women that…

How to role shift using your body, not your feet

This video is geared toward ASL students (or students of any signed language, I imagine) who might be making the mistake of thinking they have to move their feet when role shifting, a way to reenact dialogue between two characters in storytelling. I demonstrate how you can role shift by twisting your whole body, using your legs and bending your knees slightly while keeping your feet planted on…

Separate is Not Equal | Deaf Performers Were Not Included At The Halftime Show

Same thing I’ve been complaining about for 15 years! To quote a deaf writer: …the entire programming of the Super Bowl left a bad taste in my mouth. As a deaf person, I always anticipated seeing the national anthem and “America the Beautiful” performed by professional deaf entertainers who use American Sign Language. This time, we saw an influx in news publications lea — Read on…
