A Little Bit of Awesome: 1/11/2021 Edition

Michael Carsley took what was supposed to be a negative, and made the best out of it. Michael came in last in his fantasy football league, and as part of the bet, he to spend 24 hours at a Waffle House. And he wasn’t super happy about it.
But, for every waffle he ate, he could shave 20 minutes off his time. When it was all said and done, he ate 18 waffles, saving him 6 hours. So Michael was there for 18 hours, ran up a tab of $49, and left his waitress a tip of One Thousand Dollars.
That whole deal was awesome.


James Anderson is awesome. He has made it his goal to help out elderly and disable people with their heating and cooling needs. And so far, since the pandemic has started, he has spent $77,000 helping thousands of vulnerable families fix their heating and plumbing for free.
Between Christmas Day and New Year alone, James and a local team of three volunteers, three apprentices, and four engineers took on 93 jobs for free.
He has set up a GoFundMe account if you’d like to help out his cause. Dude is awesome.


This dad does an awesome impression of his always-annoyed 13-year-old daughter.


This kid is an awesome back up singer for his mom.
