The Boss and The Big Dance

Much as Omaha has been a challenge for me, I must admit, we do lots and lots of things here that e wouldn't do in Boston (Hub of the Universe). This past week we saw Springsteen and went to two March Madness games. I must admit, it would be amazing to see one of those events, let alone both in the course of a week. Omaha, I am humbled!

This was the fourth time I've seen Springsteen, and he never, ever fails to put on a stellar show. Even pushing 60, he still rocks, albiet, not for the 4 hour show he put on for the Born in the USA tour way back when. As usual, he sang some new stuff that no one cared about and some oldies that everyone came to see. And no, he did not sing Rosalita, but he did sing Dancing in the Dark, so I was pleased!

For March Madness, we saw Kansas State beat USC, and Winconsin beat UC Fullerton. Neal was thrilled to see Wisconsin, and even more thrilled that I rooted for them! They won yet again and now are on to the Sweet 16. On Wisconsin!
