Common courtesy to others is a very rare thing these days. When I go to stores, the majority of the time, I will let people in or hold the door open for those behind me, or other simple things. The funny thing is the way people react. Most people seem amazed by it and actually say thank you. Speaking is an achievement these days of the head nods and the down turned stares and the quick glances of acknowledgment. People just seem to want to move along, satisfying their own desire, and not interact with others.

Thank you for the compliment!

My wife and I went out to eat the other night with a couple that had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary not long ago. On the way home later I told Ann that Skip would sometimes run to open the door for his wife. It is very sad that you don’t see this very much anymore. Some of you readers will probably remember when you done this. Was it while you were going together to make a good impression ? Will you still be opening the doors for your wife after 50 years of marriage? It was a good idea then and I bet it still would be appreciated. Keep up the good work!!!!
