Lounge of Tomorrow

The family comes back - beaming! The youngest kid, about 6 years old or so, pulls out an autograph book, full of signatures from around the park. "Could you sign this please?" I couldn't believe it! a lil kid asked for MY AUTOGRAPH! I'm not a character, or even particularly entertaining, but I made an impact on this kid and family. I don't care what the rest of the day brings - this made my week!

Awww, that is just cool!

Great story Matt.

The munchikin went through an autograph phase. She got a notebook and she'd ask everyone for their autograph, the checker, the bagger, the lady at the hallmark store. Everyone was so sweet to her about it.

At work... a guest got grumbly at me because they asked "Which way to the restrooms", and I replied "Well, you should probably walk, quickly - THAT WAY!" - the dude's kids thought it was funny...

I used the patches and "topped up" using one of the inhalers (like a short cigarette holder with a nicotine capsile contained in it) whenever I went out to a bar or something.

It really helped with the "drink in one hand, ciggie (or inhaler) in the other" habit. It was this combination that finally allowed me to wuit after 18 years of smoking (and I was a 50 a day guy in the end too)
