Bruce Springsteen's lovely farewell song to the New Jersey Meadowlands. The stadium is being torn down after this season. I'm a Northeast guy, a Springsteen fan and a NY Giant fan. This song made me cry..

 I was raised out of steel here in the swamps of Jersey,

some misty years ago
Through the mud and the beer,

and the blood and the cheers,

I've seen champions come and go
So if you got the guts mister,

yeah if you've got the balls
If you think it's your time,

then step to the line,

and bring on your wrecking ball

Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Come on and take your best shot,

let me see what you've got
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Come on and take your best shot,

let me see what you've got
Bring on your wrecking ball

Now my home was here in the Meadowlands,

where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes
Here where the blood is spilled,

the arena's filled,

and Giants play the game
So raise up your glasses and let me hear your voices call
Because tonight all the dead are here,

so bring on your wrecking ball

Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Take your best shot, let me see what you've got
Bring on your wrecking ball

Yeah we know that come tomorrow,

none of this will be here
So hold tight on your anger
Hold tight on your anger
Hold tight to your anger,

and don't fall to your fear

Now when all this steel and these stories,

they drift away to rust
And all our youth and beauty,

it's been given to the dust
And your game has been decided,

and you're burning the clock down
And all our little victories and glories,

have turned into parking lots
When your best hopes and desires,

are scattered through the wind
And hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
And hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
Yeah just to come again

Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Come on and take your best shot,

let me see what you've got
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball (bring on your wrecking ball)
Bring on your wrecking ball (bring on your wrecking ball)
Take your best shot,

let me see what you've got,

bring on your wrecking ball

Thanks for all the laughs, all the great times, and all the childhood memories

I went to a party in Boston last week, and it snowed all the way home. Snow before Halloween is a bad sign .............

I had sushi and steamed dumplings for dinner tonight. I'm thinking that over the last seven or eight years, that's really been a major change in our eating habits. Sushi has gone mainstream, all of the supermarkets here sell it. My office cafeteria sells it.

Do you guys eat it?

Mass. postal worker admits to stealing 30,000 DVDs

 
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - A former postal service employee has pleaded guilty to stealing more than 30,000 DVDs that moved through a western Massachusetts post office.

Myles Weathers, formerly of Springfield, took DVDs that were mailed by Netflix to customers for a year beginning in January 2007.

Federal prosecutors say the movie rental company alerted Springfield post office officials that a suspiciously high number of DVDs were disappearing. As many as 100 movies a week were disappearing.

Weathers was arrested in February 2008 after investigators filmed him taking DVDs from packages and slipping them into his backpack.

He faces 10 months to 16 months in prison and restitution costs of about $38,000 at his Dec. 23 sentencing.

Weathers' attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
