I'll be spending this month doing random acts of kindness, trying to brighten a few peoples days and bring a little love into the world. I'm a Don Quixote out to fight my windmills.

Fun with the TSA
This is nothing too impactful, but i thought I'd share it. The other day my sister and I went down to the airport to pick up our dad, who was coming in from California. My dad wasn't due until 8:30 pm, but since my mom didn't want me driving so far in the dark, we left a little before 7:00 pm. We got there about 7:40, with nothing to do. So, we ran around the airport, got a drink at one of the tiny coffee shops, and ran up and down the moving sidewalks (just a little). Well, all around the airport are TSA agents, security workers, and tons of miscellaneous other employees. No one makes eye contact with them or says so much as "Hello", which is understandable given the massive security increases at airports. Still thought, airport employees do not seem to love their jobs. So, Hunter and I spend a half hour walking around the airport, saying hello to everyone we saw. We even struck up a few conversations with TSA security agents, who seemed shocked anyone was willing to talk to them. Most of them came away smiling. Fortunately, security didn't think our behavior was so suspicious it warranted detainment!
