Those effected by a death or injury in the recent Colorado shootings.
We will return to our usual uninspired commentary of Fort Worth soon.
Thank you.

A Date Which Will Live In Infamy
December 7, 1941. The day Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese Air Force.
Franklin D. Roosevelt the next day in his address to Congress, described December 7, with that memorable phrase, the date which will live in infamy. The United States Congress declared war on Japan that day, December 8. December 11, 1941, Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy declared war on the United States. But, the "sleeping giant" had been awakened.
The die was now cast for a generation of young men and women and in some ways for their children.

Live Christmas Music, the next two weeks . . .
I suggest any recital by the Schola Cantorum. They perform in Tarrant County three times this holiday season, December 9 - 11, including a performance at St. Stephens Presbyterian Church, near TCU. http://www.scholatexas.com/
Take in a performance of Dickens', A Christmas Carol. This year, Casa Manana performs a Broadway version that has been was well received. Performed at Bass Hall, December 21 - 29. http://www.casamanana.org/
Orpheus, considered the best chamber choir in the area, performs in Dallas this year. I know it's a drive but if you like choral renditions of Christmas music, you will find no better than this. December 18, at St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church, Dallas, Texas. http://www.orpheuschambersingers.org/
Recommendations are made for one reason: I have gone to the performances and liked them.
