Today was full of strange encounters with strangers, including: a record producer who stopped me on the street and gave me his card while I was on the way to band practice, and an artist who asked if he could draw me while I was chatting with R on a sidewalk in North Beach.

And, I ran into a long-lost friend (on the very same sidewalk in North Beach) who had freshly returned from the land of broken dreams (LA). And, I unveiled a new song tonight that R could not stop raving about. And, it was 85 degrees today. And, the sky was free of fog tonight.

And…all of that means that September 28th, 2011 was the day that I won at life.
