Pennsylvania Journeys: Health, Business, and History

  In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about traveling to Harrisburg for a Business Enterprise Program meeting that was canceled at 9PM the night before it was due to be held. Hours after I arrived in the State Capital and checked into the hotel. I also mention my glaucoma doctor appointment, where the specialist couldn't determine my recent vision loss. I fear that things don't look good, pardon the pun. He said he didn't need to see me again for six months. I've been seeing him every three to four months for the last couple of years. Additionally, I recap my tour of the Eastern State Penitentiary with the Philly Meetup for the Blind crew.
