Music as a means of detecting a heart
At least once in your long and delicious life you owe it to yourself to go hear Olivier Messiaen’s “Turangalîla-symphonie” and don’t wait until you’re 80 as I did but finally last week went to hear the New York Philharmonic take us on this wild 90-minute roller-coaster ride in which Catholics are kidnapped and Baptists go Buddhist and you think in French and fly in a formation of geese and get a taste of molecular physics as horses go galloping down the aisles, and in the gorgeous slow passage “Garden of Sleeping Love” you will fall in love forever with the person next to you so be very careful where you sit.

Looking Back
Kameron Koerbitz’s longer curly hair was often the subject of good-natured teasing from his classmates in Michelle Misner’s fourth and fifth grade class at St. Thomas. The teasing was put to a good cause last week when Kameron challenged his classmates Ethan Phung, Thomas Knaak, Billy Brokaw, Spenser Walchuk, Chris Guba, Cole Miggens, and Ben Humbert to bring 50 pounds of food in three days. If they accomplished their goal, Kameron said he would let the class shave his head bald. Kameron is now bald; the results of his challenge were obviously successful.
