Faith In Humanity
Two things have happened this week that make me feel pretty good about people in general.
For some reason Kareem doesn’t want these two perfectly good basketballs so instead of giving them away to a person or charity or selling them on EBay his big idea was to leave them out in the front yard and wait for someone to take them. They have been out since last Friday and nobody has stolen them. Maybe they think its a trap? Maybe people don’t play basketball anymore? I am going to act like it means the folks that live around us are good people.
The second event happened Sunday. I went to Planet Sub to get a quick sandwich. PS is always great and fast so I got in, enjoyed the toasted ham + cheese and got out. 10 minutes after getting home I recieved a message on Facebook (a popular social networking site) from a guy named Ryan I had never heard of. It seems as though I dropped my ID in the parking lot and he picked it up. He left his number so we could meet up. I gave him a ring and went down to his place. Had my ID back in 20 mins. I brought over a few beers for him and his room mate for the kindness. I really think its amazing someone took the time to pick up my ID…go home and look up my name and then take time to contact me.
Good stuff.

You should put up a sign saying that they are for sale and see if someone then “steals” them.
If you could have Kareem stick a basketball goal out there and then call me, I’ll make the 3 hour trek to Springfield and get rid of your items for you. It is the least I could do with a 12 year old son that has butt imprints on the couch.
