Ryan started going blind when he was 18, so it's been a long time now that he can't see.
And one night he flies to Chicago for this work thing and gets to his hotel room and he wants to call his wife back home in Canada to let her know
that he's arrived safely.
So all he needs to do is find the phone.
And so I walk into the room and I find the bed.
And then to the left of the bed I feel along and I find this nightstand,
which is where I expect the phone to be.
And so I feel up the nightstand and there's no phone.
Fine.
So I reach across the bed to the other side and find the other nightstand and I feel
that one up and there's no phone.
That's unusual, right?
It's a bit odd, right?
So Ran can shuffle cautiously around to his knees, graze into things.
And that's how he finds a sofa, which orients him.
And so I turn to where I think there might be a table and poof, there's a coffee table.
So I grope this coffee table for a while and there's no phone on it.
Grope is kind of a funny word to use for this.
It sort of feels that way though, you know, you're just sort of.
Because you don't know where anything begins or ends, so you really maul it.
