I had lunch with several people from work last week, and we discussed our plans for the upcoming weekend. One friend shared what she had on tap, and I almost lost my mind.
At first, I felt angry. Then I worried for her sanity. I finally settled on a healthy case of arrogance as I realized that she would not have any fun in the end.
I don’t know why I get so worked up when I hear people want to go see the new version of “The Karate Kid.”
We had one of those special opportunities to go see a movie over Valentine’s Day weekend. I really looked forward to sitting down and enjoying a pleasant little film.
In the end, that did happen. However, I feel like my ADD got in the way a little bit. I blame it on the much-worse ADD of other people.
We found nice seats a few rows up in the upper part of the movie theater. We settled in, chatted through the previews and then dug into our snacks when the main feature started.
That’s when it happened. A light here, a light there, a light almost everywhere. Cell phones.
