Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

    … and you married her, right? RIGHT? I’m a Red Sox fan and if a woman did this for me, even at Yankee Stadium, I’d be so head over heels in love…

      She’s a good friend.

      Started her career as a schoolteacher and ended up being a big producer in the theatre world, and her humble beginnings just make her love using her good fortune to do neat things for others.
