Faith in humanity restored

There are good people out there.

T, who I work with and who is, by the way, a very cool person, left her wallet on the Amtrak train last night on her very long commute home from Boston to Providence. Of course, everything was in there, including one very important piece of documentation: her business card that had her email address on it.

But before she even got home, she had a message from someone's Blackberry that he had found the wallet and was overnighting it to her here at the office so she could have it back today.

Hurray. A bit of good news in an otherwise blighted world.

There are a few elements here, though, that I think are interesting. Blackberrys. Wireless communication. Overnight mail. It all speaks of money and people in a certain part of our society (dare I use the word, demographics?) who still aren't too jaded, are still comfortable, who still can afford to be nice to one another. Who are still refined and cultured and believes in doing good in the world.
