I saw a news report of a boy, Peter Zwart, who walks around his neighborhood every day selling brownies his mother makes and vegetables from his garden. He’s raising money for his friend, Emily, who has been sick in the hospital with a rare disease. He is only 5 years old.
Why does he do it?
“Because I love her. She’s nice and she used to sit by me.”
His kindness GMH.

“ After all, many of us entered this profession in the first place because of an interest in resolving our own issues along the path of helping others. I am embarrassed to admit that although I did and do feel a commitment toward altruism, a significant part of my motivation to become a therapist came from my needs to make sense of the world, to stave off my fear of mediocrity, to find acceptance, to satisfy my desire for control, to win approval and gratitude.

Isn’t THAT the truth! Most psyches I know would be the LAST people I would go to for any kind of advice! Their marriages are screwed up and their kids are definitely screwed up.

Car-B-Q off I-495 (via danielwysling)
My buddies from UMD were on I-495 when a car went off the road and burst into flames. I don’t know whether to be awed and impressed by the burning car or the quality of the iPhone’s video!
This cartoon is particularly funny to me today as my backyard neighbor, who I don’t know has called repeatedly and reported me to the City where I live for managing the “protected” Valley Oak trees in my yard. The funny thing is, if she hadn’t called, I wouldn’t have had to get a permit, approval, and hired a licensed arborist (required) to take care of them! Then she really FREAKED OUT!

1. Disinfecting and Deodorizing Sponges Don’t throw out the kitchen sponge that smells like last night’s salmon. Soak it in water spiked with white vinegar or lemon juice, then heat it on high for 1 minute. (Use an oven mitt to remove it.) This will also disinfect any sponges you used to wipe up the juices from a raw chicken. (via 14 Surprising Uses for Your Microwave)
What an INSPIRATION! For my aviation fans! Enjoy! Click the see through link on the photo for the local story on this remarkable woman who still drives a jaguar and will be 100! She sold her last plane (she owned 9!) just 10 years ago!

“ Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston S. Churchill (via quote-book)
The Oasis of The Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship clears a crucial obstacle, lowering its smokestacks, to squeeze under a bridge in the Baltic Sea, Denmark Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009. The Oasis of the Seas, which rises about 20 stories high, passed below the Great Belt Fixed Link with a slim margin as it left the Baltic Sea on Saturday on its maiden voyage to Florida. Five times larger than the Titanic, the ship has seven neighborhoods, an ice rink, a small golf course and a 750-seat outdoor amphitheater.
