My wife, Johanna, and I went to Texas last weekend to take part in the premiere of the choral work, "Lord of the Small," of which Dan Forrest, Jr., did the music and Jo did the lyrics. The work was performed at A&M Methodist Church in College Station, Texas, across from Texas A&M University.
The choral work was quite lovely (and when I can get a recording, I will link it on this blog), as Dan really put together a wonderful piece of music. It was done as a commission by two parents in College Station whose daughter died of cancer just before her 12th birthday a couple of years ago, and we had the pleasure of meeting them at the service.
Jo and I also attended the Mises Circle meeting in Houston, and the different speeches given by Doug French, Tom Woods, Rep. Ron Paul, and Lew Rockwell were superb. Nearly 600 people attended the meeting at the Post Oak Hilton, and there seemed to be a lot of enthusiasm.
So, a great weekend for us in Texas. Thanks to all of you who provided hospitality.

In Houston for Mises Circle Event
Johanna and I are in Houston, Texas, today for the Mises Circle event: "The Failure of the Keynesian State." Ron Paul is the featured speaker, and with nearly 600 people attending, this is the largest Mises event ever. (Don't worry. The Mises staff is one of the best one can find anywhere, and they know how to run things right.)
Last night, we had dinner with Tom Kirkendall and his very lovely wife. Tom, a Houston attorney, run the "Houston's Clear Thinkers" blog, which I think is one of the best blogs out there, period. Yes, a great time was had by all.
Afterward, we are on our way to College Station, where the choral piece "Lord of the Small," with lyrics written by Johanna, premiers at A&M Methodist Church Sunday morning (January 24). This is a great event, and Craig Courtney will be conducting the choir with Dan Forrest, Jr., who composed the music for this piece, accompanying on the piano.
Yes, yes, I am utterly proud of my beautiful wife. Glad there is at least one intelligent person in our family!
