If Only They Were All So Easy to Eliminate

Unfortunately for me, I have the lifelong habit of being punctual, which means I spend a lot of time waiting for friends who are less than punctual. And punctual or not, we all spend plenty of time waiting in lines or waiting rooms of doctors and others we make appointments with.

 

All of that waiting used to mildly annoy me, but I now fill that time with sketches instead of annoyance.

 

Last evening, waiting for a friend to meet me for dinner, I sketched this fellow patron perusing the menu. I only wish more of life’s annoyances would have such easy solutions.
