I have been so busy good deed doing and not really writing about it. Let's face it Christmas is long gone, and I am more than a little behind.
One of the most memorable good deeds that was about as close to helping an old lady across the street as I could get. I was asked to hail a cab by an elderly woman. Well this seems like it doesn't qualify and you may think that it is pretty wimpy, but please hear me out. This was no ordinary cab hailing. This was rush hour mid-East side cab hailing. This was near the United Nations that was surrounded by police cab hailing. Add to the mix a torrential downpour that had been going on for an hour or more. So we have thirty police cars, about fifty officers on foot, a dozen rescue vehicles, a downpour and a lady with a walker. Now were talkin' good deed. I shamelessly stepped off the safety of the curb and tried my best to look like a rich movie star that would tip well. They took the bait. One pulled over, I loaded the walker in the trunk, smashed my umbrella in the folded walker, and tucked her into the warm cab. Mission accomplished. Even the soda delivery truck guys cheered my drenched endeavor. Bonus return fortune...1/2 price entry to the Japan Society if I filled out a questionaire for them! Yippie!
This good deed is dedicated to my friend Tim, the greatest 'open the door for old ladies' person I have ever met
