I spent this morning talking to Maria and Mario about the project that we are going to work on with homeless families at the Y two weeks from now. Maria asked if we could take some stuffed animals to the kids so they could hold them when they felt scared. Mario handed me a transformer and told me he wants to give it to one of the kids.

They give me hope in humanity and our future!

But the Onion brings me back to reality with this article. Thank god for its humor to get me through Friday and to the weekend!
