Surprises Me Every Time

On my way to the theatre… came out of the Subway Back-asward and ended up on 41st Street and walked toward the corner of 9th.  While waiting for the light, I hear someone saying “Ma’am, ma’am”, must be me I figure and I turn to face them.  A couple of sweet-young-things.. “Do you know”, they ask, ‘Where Carl’s is”?  Looking at them I reply. “It is on the corner of 42nd and 8th.” and add, “You mean the guy who was on TV for cupcake baking or some such.”  “Yes!” they reply all enthusiastic.  I explain how close they are and how to get there and then check in with myself, the part of me that eschews cupcakes… how did I know that?
