What does today’s recipient have in common with yesterday’s recipient? They both carry things for a living. Harold from yesterday carries the mail in DC while Ryan carries beer for thirsty sports fans at the Redskins games. The 21-year-old, who wears a badge identifying him as Vendor #623, said that today was his first day [...]

So this morning I heard the NPR story by Liane Hansen…it was great! If you missed it, check it out here. So I was walking around my neighborhood one night looking for someone to give my $10 to. People often ask me how I choose the recipients. There really isn’t any scientific method, but more [...]
