Also I was nearly trampled by Madonna as she was darting into Balthazar as I was exiting (this was, watch out while I drop a name, the party for Isabella Rossellini's book Some of Me, that story on request), and though that's not quite as minor it's certainly picayune.

My 3 year-old was reading the Times when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, why did the senator ask mean questions to the nice plastic surgery lady?" And when I told him "because that lady pledged to liberate LA from socialists," he started crying.
