Giving coffee forward gets trendy

I wrote about the man who donated coffee at Tim Hortons to the next few hundred patrons. Since then it has happened three other times.

The comments on this article range from gratitude to disdain calling it a publicity stunt. Since most of the donors remain anonymous it seems a horribly ill thought out publicity plan....

A quick aside I'm sure everyone is waiting to find out of Michael Dunahee has indeed been found, after 22 years, living in Surrey. It would be such a wonderful ending to a terrible story. I keep checking google but no news yet.

Paying it Forward Double Double Style

A man (angel on earth) walked into Tim Horton's and paid for the next 1000 coffees - what a great gesture and that means a lot to Canadians - free double double? Nice.

I think this is a great story. I initially heard about it on the radio and I am surprised it made print amongst all the 'bad' news. Paying it forward is cool. Do it with action, money or intention.

Another neat thing I learned was that my neighbourhood has a Facebook page, that's just plain awesome. It list community events, businesses and mainly interaction and activities for our 'hood. If your neighbourhood doesn't yet do this, why not start it?
