Bruce Springsteen Concert

There is always one more story with us that makes you wonder right! Well here it is. Daniel just loves Bruce Springteen, listens to his music every day. We managed to purchase him tickets this past December for the concert at Giants Stadium this summer. It had been something Dan had been looking forward to, counting the days to and something we had been praying that he would get to go with being sick and all. So it is now July the 29th concert day. The plan is to leave at 11am with the motorhome, this way Dan can be well rested to see the concert. Then seeing as we were some 80 miles from home, we would nip on over to north Jersey and do some camping for a week. We were not sure if Dan or us could pull it off, but we would try.
So, off we go, all packed up etc only to make 8 miles before the motorhome broke down. The fan that cools the engine stopped. It was a very very hot day, Dan was having a blockage and the pressure of the concert hung over head. Kevin could only do 2 or 3 miles then we had to stop to let old Betsy cool down. Kevin knew what it was and he tried to do some make shift attempts to buy us some road time, but they did not work so we decided to come off the parkway so that we could pull over to take a better look. I had Dan on the bed at the back of the motor home and Kevin was burning his arms trying to rig stuff up to get us on the road. Kevin hooked a fan quite creatively and although it did not fix the problem, it did allow us to at least get home by 5.30pm. We left Betsy and Arnold in the road and hairballed out to the concert in the minivan. Would we make it, who knew, but we had to try. We got to Giants Stadium by 8.30 only to find out that we had the wrong day, the concert had been on the Sunday before, Bruce was not even there this day. Oh boy it was terrible, how could I disappoint Dan like this, what do I tell him. We decide out of desperation to talk to the box office, I mean what did we have to loose. So that what we did, and this lovely lady graciously re issued our tickets to the Thursday which was Bruce’s next show it is was already sold out. You know we meet the most wonderful people in our times of trouble, I was gratefully amazed it was a dream come true. We were still going to be able to get Dan to the concert, just two days later.
