There are still good people in the world!

Maybe it's holiday spirit, maybe it's just kindness, but we have been on the receiving end of some this week. I was telling Sueshore and Mermaid the other day that we mailed a check for our RB rental last weekend; it was due to the owners by Wednesday. Wednesday came, the owner emailed, saying no check. Same thing Thursday. Then Friday. Time is critical because these owners mail the keys to the house upon receipt of the check, and we arrive in SoWal on Wednesday. At last, the owner emailed me today saying they've gone ahead and mailed the keys; they believe that we've sent the check and are just the victims of holiday mail overload. Either the check is long-delayed or truly lost, but they're willing to sort it out later.
I'm truly thankful for kind, trusting people in this world!
(And yes, LL and SJ, we really did mail it. )

Hey, I believe you. Checks always get lost in the mail.

Their method of issuing keys seems very antiquated. Have a good stay.

It's a good personal policy to believe in the inherent goodness of one's fellow man. The alternative is too sad. To that end, here's a thought for your holiday and end-of-year giving...New Orleans still faces an overwhelming need and memories are dimming in Washington. This in the face of recent and impending tax cuts and the $32 billion price tag for rebuilding a major U.S. city. The promises and chest thumping are part of the past. If you care about this beautiful, historic city, send a donation now or schedule incremental donations that will be received over a period of one year. More importantly, write letters to your elected officials in Washington, D.C. and to the White House letting them know that you expect our leaders to make good on their promises so that a national treasure is not forever lost in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Pass it on...
