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.

 

 1.  December 3, Friday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Pops Christmas concert (special for kids) at the Meyerson.  Tickets in the Choral Terrace (behind & above the stage & orchestra), $33.00.

 

  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.

 

I will place our orders by September 16 or 17.  Welcome to one or both wonderful evenings.

True?

 

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.

Picture 7:   14,000 riders, one little boy sitting at the edge of the road said, "They just keep coming!"

 

Picture 8:  The Bar!  98 mile rest stop.  This Wichita Falls bar every year offers free beer and bratwurst to all riders doing the 100 miles who want to stop and come in.  Talk about motivation!  I unfortunately could not eat a bite, let alone with a beer. 

 

   

 

 

See you Sunday, September 5
