I was anxious about traffic ruining the Poison concert for me. I had heard horror stories about leaving Nissan Pavilion.  I figured if we were going to be stuck for hours in the parking lot, we would be entertained, so I packed:

• A portable DVD player with three DVDs (all comedies)
• The board game Dominion
• The newspaper and a magazine
• The books that Selena and I were currently reading.

After the final bow, as Selena and I slowly made our way back to the car, I suggested a game of Dominion to pass the next hour or two.  Selena looked around and said we should try leaving.  I scoffed and started setting up the game.  She insisted we try to go home.

We got in the car, and I mentally readied myself for the frustration of hours of traffic.  Then I noticed, that I was looking out at 30 yards of open parking lot in front of me. I did have to merge into the main line of traffic eventually, and was waved in.  The main line moved at a quick pace within 60 seconds, we were out on the main road.  It was coned off in a chute straight to the ramps onto the highway home.

I am so glad Selena knows me well enough to know when to dismiss my misgivings.
