Amsterdam and W78th - Pay Attention!

My fiance and I were walking in the Upper West Side to go to the GreenFlea Market. We were engrossed in discussing the kitchen island counter material for our new apartment when I noticed in the corner of my eye a woman with red hair coming towards me with her two kids. The person and I both stopped for a split second like you always do in a crowd trying to figure out which way that person is going to walk. Well, we did a little dance and walked around each other. I never bothered to look up and continued my all important conversation about how our kitchen island was to be constructed. A few seconds later, my fiance interrupted me and whispered...

"You know you just almost walked into Cynthia Nixon."
I need to learn to pay attention to my surroundings more.
