3-19-17 SHORT HILLS: The fourth Nor’easter arrives tomorrow and Wednesday to mark the start of Spring. I am still doing clean up from the big one that did all the damage here. The black pine stump is at grade level and ready for a new planting after the fence is repaired. Big piles of broken branches have been moved to the street and off the shrubs. Lots of shrubs are still covered in snow and so of unknown status regarding damage.

A fifth storm is a possible for Sunday, and that’s not Fake News. We will miss the start of the next storm by being in Vermont, unless it catches us there.

We had a nice dinner in NYC with Ina and Marcel and with new NYC residents, Mark and Susan, at Arte Cafe. It was nice to see everyone and the food was great.

Saturday we went to ‘Springsteen on Broadway’. We bought tickets on line for a bundle and sat in the first row of the balcony, there are only two rows in the balcony of the Walter Kerr Theatre. Before the show, my nose started to run, but it wasn’t blood. Actually the seats were fine. We both loved the show, he is not only a great musician, but a great poet as well. Bruce’s wife Patti had a cameo. The Boss talked and sang for more than two hours without a break.

Sunday we were at NJPAC for an equally good concert with Joshua Bell and The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. They did works by two composers we were unfamiliar with, Edgar Meyer and Henryk Wieniawski, and two we knew, Mendelssohn and Beethoven. Both concerts were nice breaks from the big clean up.

We're high up in the balcony, next to the last row. We could touch the ceiling. but the seats were fine.
