Good morning from Collegeville,

It feels good to feel good. Health is something that we sometimes fail to be grateful for, until we are taken ill. There are many viruses lurking and lying in wait. You can do all the right things and still come down with something. Time heals most wounds and patience is sometimes all that you need.

At my age, I know many folks that are fighting cancer. Why that terrible thing happens to some and not others is a mystery. There is not much that you can do, except, to offer to assist, send encouraging notes, and give to www.cancer.org/donate

Here is a link to another story about a special group that is raising awareness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkSQPX31T94&feature=em-subs_digest

The APHC show this week is coming to you from The Town Hall on West 43rd Street in Manhattan. Special guests include Itzhak Perlman, Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot and the Klezmer Conservatory Band plus roots-country singer and songwriter Iris DeMent, pianist Dick Hyman and vocalist Heather Masse. The Royal Academy of Radio Actors and The Guy’s All Star Shoe Band add to the festiveness.

Here in St. Cloud there are many shows to choose from including Kantorei and a “Messiah Sing Along” at The Paramount Theater on Saturday night, and “A Child’s Christmas” performed by Great River Chorale and the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota on Saturday and Sunday at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
