Winding Down, Winding Up
In the midst of the accumulated stress of a rapidly concluding semester, I have several things to which I am looking forward, including, of course, the end of the semester itself, but also the first Gainesville Roller Rebels bout in Jacksonville this coming Sunday with the Jacksonville Roller Girls. Another major event which, in the whirlwind of recent activity has taken me by surprise, is the concert this Saturday evening in Orlando featuring Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
We bought tickets for the show the morning they became available, stuck them in a desk drawer, and there they have sat. Since the mid-April date seemed so far off to me at the time, I let it settle in the recesses of my consciousness. Now, lo, the 19th is nearly upon us! This is going to be a special occasion for me because, for the first time, I’ll be attending a Springsteen concert with my father, who first introduced me to The Boss when I was young.
The demands on my time from school do not afford me the opportunity to write extensively about this just now, but suffice it to say I am very excited, and, at this point, even the notion of excessive amounts of driving and $3.50/gallon gasoline dampen my enthusiasm. Huzzah!
On a not-too-difficult-to-predict side note, this morning Bruce endorsed Barack Obama.
