I received an unexpected and very thoughtful present from someone I've never met in person.
Also, less tangible but still feeling like a gift: I heard that at a meeting today a colleague spoke warmly and enthusiastically about the London summer program of mine which she participated in a few years ago.
And the wonder of public libraries! I tend not to use them because I have the campus library, and if it doesn't have something its interlibrary loan service is quick, but when it comes to picturebooks for my courses, local public libraries have been fantastic resources offering immediate gratification. When I went to a branch this evening to return some books, I was amazed at how full the parking lot was. Hurray for public services, a gift for us all.
