Bruuuuce and Frostburg

Upper Marlboro

On Friday night, 9/14, we attended a Bruce Springsteen concert at Nationals Stadium in Washington with Donna and John. A beautiful night and a great concert. I've never been a big fan of  Bruce's music, but I'm a big fan of Bruce. He's an amazing performer. He sang pretty much non-stop for almost four hours. He never seems to take a breath between songs. A new one starts before the music from the previous song has ended. Really  something. Well worth the cost of admission .... particularly when your daughter and son-in-law are treating!

We got home about 1:30am and were up by 5:30 to travel to Frostburg, MD, for their bicentennial celebration. (Donna and John also came, but they left a lot later.) Kim grew up in Frostburg and Michael went to college there and lived there for about nine years. About a year ago they approached the bicentennial committee with the idea of putting together a picture book about the town, reminiscent of the book done for the 150th anniversary. The book turned out great, as did the parade and other events we attended. In the evening we had dinner with Carolyn Wolfe, Kim's mom, in Frostburg, at her 200-year-old house.
