You Gave My Christmas Gift to Brad Pitt?

Well, maybe not Brad Pitt directly, but as a holiday gift, one of my favorite lenders Bonnie Paulson, left me a card at the office. When I eagerly opened the envelope, I was surprised that instead of a gift card or a pocket calendar or something lame like that, there was a note saying that she had given $25 in our names to Make It Right.

Make it right?

Pop quiz, what’s the first thing that popped in your head… The Human Fund, right?

I scanned through the note along with the card, thought “cool” and moved on to the next thing on my list.

Imagine my surprise later that night, when I tuned into Charlie Rose to find that his guest was…. Brad Pitt. It turns out that the project is super cool and something that I’m glad to be a part of. After watching him talk about the project, I went and checked out the Make it Right web site, and I recommend that you check it out as well.

BTW, you can stream the Brad Pitt interview on Charlie Rose’s website, which is another dynamite trove of great interviews.

and finally… a little wink to my RE.net cohort Teri Lussier, who is a big Fight Club fan.
