Theater, Art, Flash Gordon, Funky Music and MORE!

Weather: A cycle of short snows and shredded blue skies is rolling over us.

Wildlife: The massive Rough Legged Hawks are still perched on high places around the neighborhood.

Charity Alert: Keep that resolution! Click on The Hunger Site once a day.

In The Community: We are short-handed at the Hockaday Museum, but at least we're organized. The director stripped the last three shows off the walls and pedestals, and I finished the touch-up painting yesterday. The next three shows are dribbling in, so we have places to put them now. Mollerway showed up and took Kristi Brothers' pottery away. WILL WE BE READY BY JANUARY 10?!? (Don't bet against us.)
