That's not how you spell my name.

For some reason I forgot about this until now... 

Yesterday morning before work, I went to Panera to eat breakfast 

(stay with me, this is not the forgotten part)

and walked through the door and noticed a lady walking toward the door with a

huge bag of bagels and a purse and coffee in her hand. 

So I naturally held the door open for her... 

and she shockingly said "thank you." 

How sad is it that people are genuinely surprised when

someone shows common courtesy? 

Do yourself and a stranger a favor today.

Do something nice for someone you don't know.

I know, I know... "paying it forward" is such old news...

but is it really?

This is a coloring page for children. 

Don't tell me everyone has forgotten

 what they learned in kindergarten. 

I looked for pictures labeled "courtesy"

on weheartit.com, but this is all I found:

Isn't that nice? 

Don't get me wrong. It's really funny.

We'll leave it that. 

Haha. 

Ode to Common Sense.

According to Vicki, I am speaking in my "desperate" accent, but it kind of sounds like Bernardo from West Side Story. Anywho, I have been inundated with the dumbest questions today...and I wasn't all that surprised...but I digress.

Question 1:How do I get around the building without walking through your office?

Answer 1: Walk around the building.

Response 1: Oh, ok. Thanks!

Question 2: Is this the Sella-Granata Gallery?

Answer 2: No, it's across the quad in Woods Hall.

Response 2: (Blank stare and arms spread in confusion) Is that a building?

Answer 2: Yes. Across the quad.

Response 2: Ok... (continued blank stare)

I'm sure there will be more dumb questions for the day. However, I wanted to put these gems out there for you to read. You are welcome.

Again, you have to wonder how did some of these kids get into college?
