i visited my cousin Jamie Lyn at her dorm at Davis today, and mum and i took her out to lunch. afterward i we went straight to my church, which was putting on the harvest carnival for the old folks at Avalon Assisted Living. i arrived very early (stupid daylight savings) so i helped to set things up. the actual carnival itself went well -- the old folks were pleasant, even though a bit odd. there were also some families there -- children and grandchildren. they ran around screaming, being adorable, and adding to the general bedlam. i sang some oldies and joked with sarah loftus, who was in the booth beside mine, and shouted for song requests. it was rather marvelous.
on the way back from the carnival (dad drove me home) we noticed an elderly man walking along Arnold Drive. it was getting dark and the wind was brisk -- dad went in a circle and offered him a ride. apparently he was walking to safeway to buy dog food for his pet. he told us all about his time as a quarterback for a college team, and we chatted about his dog. he was a friendly old man. it was decent of dad to give him a ride.
i'm left feeling better today than i have in ages. it just goes to show that doing the kind thing for someone else is the truly rewarding action

you seem so naive. all of your posts are so full of joy. not that I wish it upon you but does anything bad ever happen to you? it seems like it doesn't.
