Kerry Presidential election. He played to a crowd of what felt like hundreds of thousands of people. He got to add one extra song to his set & ended up playing "Thunder Road." Someone transcribed the spoken intro & outro that he gave, you can read it <a href="http://www.springsteenlyrics.com/lyrics/t/thunderroad_2004-11-01.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>. My mom and her two sisters see Bruce as a family whenever he comes to Cleveland.<br /><br />I've been trying to spend less time watching TV and being online, too, though having unfettered access to the internet at work makes it hard to resist. I don't spend much time on facebook, but I hopelessly refresh twitter and tumblr on some days. I've really pushed myself to read more this year and haven't done too shabby (I've read 71 books so far and am hoping to get to 75 before the year is over.)<br /><br />I hope that things are going well for your out in Syracuse! Will you be home for the holidays? If you ever want to try & meet somewhere in the middle, maybe could spend a day in Buffalo together? I miss seeing you & chatting with you.<br /><br />P.S. The other day I had the pleasure of eating lunch with Hilary Stevens & she made a salad that reminded me so much of the colorful salads you used to construct at Alexander.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16033963441572502569noreply@blogger.com
