Pup, Pride and Springsteen
My surrendered pup was adopted this week to a loving family. Mom is a stay-at-home mom. She has four kids. They live in the country. The dad has a job that can afford the luxury of enabling the mom to stay at home, so I'm hopeful. It's painful letting go again, since I was entertaining the idea of losing my lease for that dog, but seriously, a big home and a person who can stay at home all day with the dog is what's best for the dog.
Went to Pride on Friday - and without criticizing the volunteers for doing an awesome job setting everything up and running things smoothly, I got bored quickly and wound up at Brother's nursing a vodka tonic. I guess I'm a geek/punk/quirkyalone before I'm a gay.
Went to see Bruce Springsteen in Des Moines on Saturday. Astounding. You hear that a Bruce Springsteen show is a concertgoing experience like no other. I can say that a Springsteen show surpasses any hype you hear about it. I think the show instantly wedged itself in my top 5 best concerts of all-time.
