Bruce


Atlanta, Georgia

I have been to a lot of concerts, seen a lot of great shows. But I’d never seen Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. That changed tonight. An uncle from Rhode Island, a friend from Massachusetts, another friend from around the corner and I spent the evening screaming. A bit.

I get it. If you get the chance, go.

But be prepared, the fans are … different. A lot of folks making multiple runs to the bar, some to the point of falling down. You paid a couple hundred bucks to be there, then you spend a bunch more to stand in line during the performance?

Then there are the folks pointing their phone at the screens and recording those instead of watching the show. (And, yes, I made photos – but briefly, here and there, I didn’t stare at a screen for several hours.)

The Pirate


Athens, Georgia

Goose had been squinting with one eye, the vet recommended an eye specialist. After spending an hour with her a week ago, the recommendation was an enucleation. The surgery was today and she shall now be known as the Dread Pirate Goosefeather McGee.

She’s recovering well, if a little confused.
