This is me with tears in my eyes, in the opening moments of the Paul McCartney concert last night. He calmly walks out in stage, the whole arena realizes he’s there, and my kids, along with everyone else, just go bonkers.

I’ll add a couple of details, just for fun: we did a “glamping” bubble one night and that was a joy. And we finished with two nights in Quebec City — an absolute gem. ☺️

When your Cleveland work conference is over and your friends are gone, you can sometimes go back to the Rock & Roll HOF and do extra things. Like rock out on the drums AT THE FRIGGIN’ ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME. 😎🔥

Friday night hockey game for my teenage son, and it’s our first time at Aréna Martin Brodeur — Marty’s old childhood rink in Montreal! This old NJ boy was *very* excited to see the memorabilia in the lobby. God, he was so good. 🏒 🥅 🏆
