One Good Turn

As the elevator door was closing this morning, I heard someone coming down the hall.  I stuck my foot out at the last second to hold the door for him.  He stepped in with a smile, said thanks, and when he got off he gave me a nice “have a good day.”

My parents are coming to visit in a few weeks.  Last week, for my mom’s birthday, I got her an extra birthday present: A carbon offset for her (and my dad) to offset their flight.  As we’ve discussed before, carbon offsets are a partial solution at best, but in cases like this, they’re much better than nothing.  And she appreciated it, so that made me happy.
