Reuniting Man and... Umm... Glove

I have no statistics to back this up, but I have to believe one of the things people lose the most (besides their minds, inhibitions and dignity) are their gloves. They are just so easy to misplace on a park bench, in a restaurant and so on. But what to do? Especially if you just lose a single one from the pair of hand-warming goodness?

Well, if you live in Pittsburgh, PA, you're potentially in luck if you are currently carrying on a quest of grail-like proportions for a missing glove or mitten. Onecoldhand.com is a Web site created to reunite missing gloves with their forlorn owners. What's not to love about that concept?

This site will not bring peace to the Middle East or prevent deforestation in the Amazon River basin... but isn't this the kind of thing you just like to hear about during the holidays? It's a small act of kindness, created with a bit of wit and whimsy for no other purpose than to remind people that there are a few nice folks still walking around out there. I know, I know... I'm being incredibly sappy, but I figure that I get a free pass during this time of year. And the rest of the year? Well, if you've ever met me, I am never short on the sap and I am a fairly firm believer in our needing a little more of it out there. I guess that is my personal question of grail-like proportions.
