What are your favorite start of summer memories?
For me, nothing says summer like Bruce and the Jersey Shore. When I lived in NJ, my summer started the Friday morning of Memorial Day weekend with the traditional WPLJ Summer Blast Off at Jenkinson's in Pt. Pleasant. I never made it to the blast off itself, teaching somehow always got in the way, but I always listened on the radio to Joe Nolan's tribute to NJ speech and the traditional playing of Born to Run.
When I moved to New England, this was one thing I missed. Now with technology the way it is, I can enjoy it and share it with you. Happy Summer!

Hi, Al! Your blog looks absolutely wonderful! Glad to see that you are hip with technology.
I have a week between grad school semesters and I was just catching up on e-mail. I'll try to keep checking in with you from time to time!

Sigh. Summer in Jersey. Thanks for the links.
My minister is a *huge* Bruce fan. She often references him in sermons. Her ring tone is Born to Run, her blog Glory Days... makes me know I am in the right place for church and brings a bit of Jersey to the big city on the left coast.
