DA39-1/4/07 Bill of Rights Very interesting meeting if you like philosophical political discussion - which I do. Plenty of great minds exchanging thoughts in a friendly discourse after lunch. Everyone seemed to enjoy hearing the opinions from divergent sides and the opportunity for respectful open debate, which is the foundation of this country's greatness. Hurley's reenactment of Patrick Henry was wonderful and I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to see him perform to do so.

DA22-10/25/06 Ballet Arizona brings romantic ‘Swan Lake’ to
life
The Phoenix Symphony
accompanies with Tchaikovsky
If you were to see only one ballet in your entire life, it would have to
be Ballet Arizona’s lavish production of “Swan Lake,” regarded by many as
the greatest of all classical ballets. I took my Mom, Aunt and Daughter to the
ballet. They all loved it! It takes your breath away to see those leaps and
spins and the beauty of it all makes my heart melt into the romantic
imagery.
Hi LeeAnn, I just read the article online and its great – thank you!
