I like to throw away my white cane. It reminds me to focus in on using my other senses, the sound of what is probably a player control foul, the smell of a player probably spending too much time in the lane, the taste of my sweat dripping down as I hustle to guess at the correct call, and the touch of the ball as someone hands it to me after I guess correctly on calling an out of bounds violation. Contacts? I don't need no stinkin' contacts.

Best line from friendly, but funny, parent in a game during a time out:
Parent: Do you want me to walk your dog?
BillyMac: What dog?
Parent: Your seeing eye dog that you left in your car.
