The concert tonight was in a beautiful, old church, and all went extremely well. We had a very nice crowd, and they seemed very appreciative of everything. I was one of four "acts" on this program, but I did play more than anyone else. There was an adult handbell choir, a junior handbell choir, and a small vocal ensemble, and the program went from one to another of the groups with me in between. That's actually a very relaxed way to do it and I really enjoyed being a part of the whole.
The only problem was that it was cold -- I mean really cold. This is a stone church building with a stone floor which just sucked all the heat out of everything -- including us! The heating system made so much noise that they had to turn it off for the program, and you could feel the heat go as soon as they did that. Everyone sat with their full coats, gloves, hats, and scarves on and we were still cold. This was the first concert I've ever performed where I didn't get really hot! In fact, I didn't get hot at all, just barely warm.
I've decided that there's nothing between France and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence. We made it down to the center of the city this afternoon, but it was so cold and windy that you couldn't walk around outside. It wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been raining, too. Ah well, everyone here tells me that Paris does have nice weather occasionally -- just not now.
Here's a picture of the main piramid entrance to the Louvre. We spent a lot of yesterday in there while the sun was shining outside. I wish I could adequately describe just how enormous this place is because what you see in the picture is just part of one section. It really just goes on and on and on. And to think it used to be a private dwelling.
Got to sleep now.

Tiger Woods is an incredible golfer, probably the best ever. golf shirts In golf you need all 10 fingers, and you need your back. Nothing went right all last year. Though Daly was not implicated, his life became chaotic.
