I know football started and I enjoyed a robust discussion at the Gotham Golf Outing's cocktail party with Paul Napolitano concerning tomorrow eve's game I apparently will not be able to view via "conventional" means.  But the tailgating Shelly and I enjoyed in the Met Life Parking lot on September 3 preceded no football contest; instead we gathered with good friends Eric & Jarmine and Lee & Shari to in advance of a "boss performance" that evening.  And the show Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band put on was high energy and uplifting.  Shelly made an interesting remark about the ability of the performers, most of not a youthful age, to carry on as they did (You'll need to ask her.).  Highlights for this correspondent included "Lonesome Day" (which opened the set), "The Promised Land," "Two Hearts," "Thunder Road," "The Rising," "Jungleland" and "Rosalita" (my fave Bruce tune).
