I got a real act of kindness from a Greyhound driver. I had to put m wife on a bus to Virginia this morning, (her mum got sick see Chrismas in the UK for details...) Well, Genie was on the bus, which was delayed in starting, and crying ... and as you know, US is the nation of rules, and NYC is the point to the rule book capital of the world... so I asked the driver if there was time for a phone call at any stop. He told be that there was in Baltimore. I asked him to tell that to my wife. He looked about to see that the dispatcher wasn't looking, and said, "why don't you go on the bus and tell her yourself." That was the best Christmas gift (even if it weren't the only one so far) I could have gotten. Genie got a great gift last night, her brother, who has been homesteading in Alaska since she was 5, called out of the blue. First time she spoke to him in her adult life. He gave us his teliphone number and email adress! Email for a guy who lives by hunting bear and moose and lives in a cabin he made himself in the wilderness! Amazing days we live in!
Merry Christmas all
