Here's a little teaser from my next column in Solares Hill.
Q. I don’t understand why people push and shove to be first on a plane when we’re all going to the same place and the plane can’t leave until we’re all on it and seated. How do you suggest I deal with these rude passengers?
A. Dearest tender heart, there is nothing more rude than a pusher or shover. I wouldn’t be surprised if these people had been chastised for this kind of behavior as children. Something about airplanes that make adults act like children and believe me it’s not because they’re going to Disney World! The best way to handle these types is to step aside and let them go ahead or to wait until everyone has boarded. I really don’t know when airlines are going to finally get it and let window seats sit first etc.
We all know these people, they should be made to go to the back of the line.

TIPS - To Insure Prompt Service
TIPS: maybe it sould be proper service.
It's the holiday season; so don't forget to TIP all those people that make your life easier and go out of their way for you. You should let them know throughout the year how much you appreciate them, but if you're like a lot of people, time goes too fast and it seems like last month was the holidays...Oh it was for our Jewish friends.
Cash is best. It doesn't matter if you can only spare $5. Go load a gift card at a coffee shop or gas station or subway card. It's not the amount, it's the thought. If you can afford it...make it more.
Who should be tipped? Maintenence workers at your apartment building, lawn service, cleaning people, delivery people, anyone in your life on a regular basis.
Take a breath, enjoy the holidays.

Great News Story and Great Manners
I was so excited to read in the New York Times today proof that honesty pays!
Apparently, a homeless man, David Tally found $3000.00 in an abondoned backpack and turned it in to the Tempe, Arizon Community Action Agency. They were able to find the owner, a college student. Word of his honesty spread and it's come back to him. People have sent him checks totaling more than the 3k, he's had job offers and Mayor Hugh Hallmand declared it Dave Tally Day!
It just goes to show you that one good deed gets another.
