Maybe I should have stood in bed...

   Last Thursday, I woke myself up early, headed down to St. Vincent
   DePaul (a local homeless shelter/soup kitchen), and said "I'm here for
   my shift! What do you need?" I was told that they had too many
   volunteers, and I should just go home to enjoy my Thanksgiving.

   Sometimes I love humans.

   It was on my way out of the car when I hit my head on the roll bar. It
   wasn't a car accident or anything, just a simple exiting the car bit
   of mishap.

   I believe that good works are private-- that talking about them is
   bragging and cheapens the experience. On the other wrist, by talking
   about them, by making it clear that helping other people is the
   expectation norm for an adult member of society we make such works
   more likely. What are your thoughts on the subject?
