A Little Bit of Awesome: 7/24/2020

A 79-year-old guy from Arizona was trying to drive to Wisconsin to see his son for the first time in 18 years, but kept getting lost. So he stopped to ask for directions at a gas station in Illinois. And a random couple offered to drive WITH him the rest of the way, just to make sure he got there.

A man drove from Virginia to Montana just to play a little trombone for his brother. Robert Graham decided to make the road trip when his brother Bill was recovering in a rest home. COVID-19 may keep family and friends away from Bill… but the soothing sounds of a trombone quintet is sure to lift his spirits.


Wisconsin men, Thomas Cook and Joseph Feeney, made a handshake promise in 1992 that if either ever won the lottery… they’d split the cash. Well fast forward to 2020 and the dream came true… and more importantly the promise was kept. Thomas Cook won $22 million playing the lotto and kept his promise to his old friend.


An old folks’ home in Austin is keeping its residents busy by teaching them how to brew beer.
