"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." --William James
The Good Morning Man
A man who stands in a busy downtown intersection holding out a handmade sign will usually provoke a singular reaction. And that reaction is no reaction -- as in: ignore, overlook ... get out of the way, I have to get to work. But neither motorists nor pedestrians could ignore the man in the pale blue shirt and bright white sneakers yesterday morning. He wasn't asking for anything. Instead he had something to offer. "Good morning!" exclaimed Thad Davis to everyone around him. He carried his sign in the other hand. Drawn with a hotel pen on the back of a 55-cent UPS envelope, it offered the same wake-up greeting, though reflecting the Southern, folksy vernacular he's used to: "Good Mornin’."
