There's the fact that I'm running in some kind of urban marathon thing on Saturday and the fact that I met Sydney Pollack last Friday and the fact that two weeks from tomorrow I'm taking this awfully exciting, massive, life-altering step; but what is really important-- important in the right here, right now kind of way-- is that today one of my clients took the time and the money to walk two blocks out of his way to buy me a white cupcake with white frosting and sprinkles and had it waiting for me at our 2:30pm meeting. Isn't there a saying, "Life always takes a back seat to cake?"

Well, dammit, there should be.
