From the Delgados: found but can't keep a nice Australian Shepherd, male, neutered, 18 months to 2 years of age, black & white medium length hair, ca 50 lbs, would make a nice pet.   Bernadette,   Bernadettedelgado@tx.rr.com

    2.  December 15, Tuesday, 8:00:   The Winspear, South Pacific, $50 (cheapest in the house; with 15 or more we get better seats at $55)

Let Rosemary or me know if you would like one or both performances, say, by the end of September. 

True?  This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others.
