Nice people ROCK

I seem to be having lots of encounters with "takers" lately. You know the ones. People who expect the world but give very little, if anything. It's frustrating. And it's depressing.

But then ....

I am reminded that there are truly nice people out there. Lane just finished his high school's play, "Little Shop of Horrors". Being a scrapper, I've been dying to go to rehearsals and take photos of him in his light booth. Being a high school boy, he was somewhat against that. I refrained, but it was painful. Yesterday, he came home with a CD filled with photos. Hundreds of them. Mr. B has been taking photos from rehearsals, performances and parties all along. And he burned them all to CD for each of the kids. And there were lots of kids involved. That's a lot of CDs to copy.

Lane's school also had a debate tournament last weekend. They were short of judges so Lane got on the phone and called neighbors. He was able to fill nine more sessions. Wayne S., Gene S. and Christi R. all agreed to judge.

Now, bear in mind that none of these people have a vested interested in these activities. I also judged the tournament, but my kid was involved and would get docked on his grade if he didn't get at least two judges. But these people did these deeds because they're nice. Because they give back. Because they care. Kind of restores my faith in humanity.

Nice people rock!
