Advent Celebrations already: this is way early, but two of my favorite performances are already scheduled for December, and tickets will go quickly.  As in past years, if you would like to join Rosemary & me, give me your name and the number of tickets you want.  We’ll have our usual evening of wine & cheese before each performance.

  2.  December 14, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Christmas Pageant (a platinum event) at the Meyerson. Tickets on the Orchestra Floor (like last year) $55.00.

Courage has nothin' to do with the absence of fear. Courage is when you're scared to death and you get up in the saddle and go on anyway.

     True? 

    All societies are evil, sorrowful, inequitable; and so they will always be. So if you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it. And that no one can do who has not himself learned how to live in it in the joyful sorrow and sorrowful joy of the knowledge of life as it is.

    Jackie Ritter sends us a note about a special service I have never heard about:

      

    Just a reminder on our "Room in the Inn" Program for the holidays.   We're offering hotel rooms at no cost to our guests coming to visit loved ones in area hospitals, nursing homes and treatment centers on Christmas Eve.

       

    Tharaldson Lodging Company, which operates our hotel, began the "Room in the Inn" program in 1988.  With times as they are now in Michigan and across the country, we're trying to relieve some of the financial stress of having family in a care facility and by offering free rooms to those in need, we hope to make it a little easier for families to get together during the holidays.

      

    If you happen to know of anyone who's in this circumstance, or need more information about our "Room in the Inn" program, please contact our General Manager, Rick Porco, or visit our Website for all of our locations at  http://www.tharaldson.com
