The Boss

Your Center city Correspondent wants to thank all the people who have inquired about the painting project. Phase I was completed successfully and tomorrow we start on Phase II (of III). So wish us luck that our marriage survives this.




A quick note about the Phillies – I’m starting to get the same feeling about this team that I did with the great Yankees teams of my youth. That feeling is that these guys know how to win and will find a way to do so, no matter what the score or situation. As long as they have one out left, or one strike, they will play to win which is a lot different than playing not to lose. Good luck against the stinkin’ Dodgers – Go Phils!!



Mrs. CCC and I went to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Spectrum last night (Oct 14). It’s hard to put into words a Bruce concert. It’s part concert, part revival, part fountain of youth. He puts you on his shoulders and carries you to the “Promised Land” where “guys come home and wash up and go racing in the streets” but where those streets are littered with people “with the eyes of one who hates for just being born.” It is a cathartic experience where you lose your sins, your cares, and your years, at least for a little while. When I walk out of one of his concerts, I feel like I’m 25 – and I’ll pay money for that feeling. If you are any kind of fan and you’ve never been to his concert, please go see him. But be careful, once you’ve seen him the first time, you’ll want to see him every time he comes to town, addictive, you know. We’re going again on Monday night to hear him play the album “Born to Run” from start to finish (along with about 25 other songs), and I’ll hear him play “Jungleland” for the first time. I’ll be able to die a happy man.



All for now. God bless Bruce . . . and the Phillies!
