Funny you should mention this. My relatives and friends have stopped blowing their horns at me in traffic because I almost never recognize them! One time though, my sis-in-law pulled up next to me at a red light, let down her passenger side window and honked the horn; her little dog was in the passenger seat looking at me like, “Hi!”

Being in the moment can be a great when you’re spending time with people you love and enjoying them, but I love being relaxed enought that I can think about something else when I’m driving.

There are pockets of time behind the wheel where I’ve raced a kamikaze squirrel or two and enjoyed it. Then there are times when traffic is so ridiculously hectic that I’m doing good to make it where I’m going in one piece.

One of my pet peeves is being with a person whose cell phone takes priority over whatever conversation they’re having with me or someone else right in front of them.

I have such a hard time sitting still with my thoughts! I bring a book, or play games on my iPhone, whenever I have to wait. I like to watch people too, but I don’t like to be too obvious about it. Thanks for this episode, it really connected with me.

I find my knitting to be a big help in those waiting times. I am busy but I am still present.

There is really nothing wrong with being else where for a while. It is only when you aren’t there for most of the time that I think there is a problem.

What a great show. What about “musings” instead of rant or story when you get philosophical? I love your rants, don’t get me wrong, but this show was definitely not one. Just a thought, Liza in NYC
