I would have asked Santa for an Ed Brown. Now that would have been fun at the airport...
Maybe interesting would be a better word than fun.

Bayoushooter.com members and guests, go out this week with your eyes and your heart open to help someone in need. It can be as simple as giving a smile to someone, letting someone ahead of you in a line or paying for the order behind you at a drive thru or picking up a strangers tab. Do it without seeking thanks. I have done this before and it's nice to see them look around not knowing who the giver was.

A couple from my personal life.
Two weeks after Hurricane Katrina, my wife, kids and I were returning home from Michigan after evacuating. We had spent the night in Tennessee and stopped for breakfast at a Shoneys shortly after crossing into Alabama. While eating breakfast, we spoke with our waitress and mentioned that we didn't know what we were returning to at home. Pictures from the area, and people we knew said the area had been hit hard. During our time at the restaurant, it seemed like everyone there came up, said hi, and wished us well.
After finishing, I went up to pay our bill. Our waitress and the manager met us at the register. The manager said there was no charge and wished us the best. The waitress also said there was one other thing. She handed my wife and I an envelope, and said it was from the whole staff. she said that they didn't know what or if anyplace would be open, but to stop and have lunch on them as well before hitting town. The envelope contained $46 collected from the staff. The wife and I left in tears.
Three months later, I got the address of that Shoneys, and we sent a card thanking the staff for their generosity and kindness.
A few years ago, I was at a local store to purchase just a couple items. There was an elderly gentleman in the check out line ahead of me. He only had two items, orange juice and a box of dog biscuits. After searching his wallet and pockets multiple times, he realized that he did not have enough cash to pay for them both. He told the cashier to take the orange juice off of his ticket. Before she could finish removing it, I pulled the three dollars from my pocket and handed it to her, and told him that I had it covered and to have a good day. He started thanking me, apologizing for the inconvenience and shaking my hand. To me the 3 bucks was nothing, to him the act of kindness seemed to mean the world.
We can all do something to make someones day. It really doesn't take much.
