Adios 2009

We had some good times we had some bad 2009. Seen some and done some cool things. As hectic as 2009 was I'm a little sad to see it go. Things started picking up a few months ago and I'm worried that 2010 will get all the credit for 2009's hard work. Well this is my chance to thanks you properly. THANKS 2009!

Eww I got the Good on me.

Happy Holiday's Candorteers (I save saying/typing Merry Christmas for the actual day)

Anyways...I wanted to make you aware of some good that happened over the weekend in the oddest of places...Philly!

That's right, Philly. The same city that booed Santa, threw batteries at many of ball player, and cheered when football players get carted off the field, went above and beyond this weekend and might even start earning their nickname.

The City of brotherly love spread some of that love during a five hour span at a local diner. It started with just one couple paying for their tab, but the tab of the table next to them; then the giving ensued. Patron after patron "paid it forward" not only did they pick up the check of another table, but even paid the tip!

Remember it all started with just one couple. Try doing something like this during the upcoming week. When you're at the drive thru, pay for the person's food behind you. When you're in line at Star Bucks give the cashier an extra five to pay for the next person in line. Let's try spreading the good in our own city.

News and Notes

Two quick things I wanted to share with all my Candorteers. First off, I want to officially hop back on the UNLV Runnin' Rebels bandwagon. Thanks to the generosity of a few friends; Danielle, Matt, and Trish I'm talking to you, I had the opportunity to go to a few Rebel games this season. Ever since the early 90's I've been a fan of UNLV's basketball program or what I'd like to call, Las Vegas' closest thing to a professional sport, but my interest wavers from time to time. Glad to say my interest has once again been rekindled by none other that Coach Lon Kruger. Before Coach Kruger arrived, the Rebels were mediocre at best, making it to the NCAA tourney only once in the 21st century.

But happy times they are here again, and it has something to do with the way the Rebels are Runnin'

Go, Fight, Win! (or go, white, red,)

Lastly, I have a movie recommendation that I want to pass along. If you get the chance please go out and see, "The Blind Side." It's a true story that will warm even the coldest of hearts, I'm talking to you Brian. I don't want to get into it because I'm afraid I'll give to much away, but give yourself a Christmas present early and go see that movie.
