Date night, no kids, and an open road to the local cinema to see the next blockbuster! We got our tickets. Ready, get set, and..."Honey could you wait just a moment while I freshen up in the bathroom? Oh you gotta be kidding me sweatheart the movie's gonna start! I know honey, just give me a minute and I'll be right out."

Anyone familiar with me knows patience is not my virtue. In fact, waiting for anything can be excruciating. During such times I have to find creative ways to focus my attention on something interesting, so my moods don't overtake me. 

I was standing near the hallway when someone spotted my lanyard and keys. They must have  thought I was a cinema employee because a patron came to me handing me her ticket and asking me to direct her to the movie she came to see. My first thought was, "I don't work here." But then I realized how much fun I was suddenly having. I obliged her. "Right this way mam." About 15 people later my wife comes out of the bathroom to find me working my second job. She says, "Are you having fun yet?" It made for a good laugh that otherwise could have turned into a meaningless argument. Sometimes the creative ADD mind can be the best show in town.
