Spent most of the day talking to students. Later, I gave a pint of blood at the Student Center. A few students heard about me and thought the project was a great idea.
Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a three year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short three years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Kindness Bus is going to need some major mechanical work very soon, please help. Any donation is appreciated.
Thank you, Bob and Bogart

It still amazes me that I was able to find a school bus on Craigslist. It is a 1990 Chevy bus with an odometer reading of just over 15,000 miles. I’m sure the odometer rolled over at least one time, probably more like two. With the mileage, I add to the total, it will have been able to travel to the moon. The inside is over the top as far as furnishings go, it has a plywood bed. The Bus is probably the greatest looking vehicle on the road in the United States. One of the students I met during my travels said, “It is Smithsonian-worthy”. We will see.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
