I attended the organ concert performed by Kevin Vaughn at 16.00. Kevin is from South Bend, IN.  He performed:

The opening movement from Symphony No.3 in F# minor, Op. 28 by Louis Vierne, who was blind for most of his life.

Fantasia sopra 'Freu dich sehr, O meine Seele' by a student of J.S. Bach, Johann Ludwig Krebs. Somewhere in there was hidden a theme from "Comfort, Comfort, O my People."

Lied from Douze Pieces by a student of Vierne, Gaston Latarze.

Prelude & Fugue in C Major, BWV 547 by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Sonata in B-flat Major, Op. 65, No.4 by Felix Mendelssohn.

Sat with Chuck M, and chatted with Doug, Judy, Chuck, and Don after the concert.

Mom, Dad, and I enjoyed arroz caldo and leftovers as the adobo was preparing.

Also had a Spotlight @ Sinornithosaurus. I had visitors to the Spotlight guess/ hypothesize whether it were venomous or not; examine the fossil evidence (experiment); read the literature; decide if these supported or refuted the hypothesis, then fine-tune the original guess, especially if the scientific process were to continue. Lots of local visitors; some from Cambridge, OH; East Los Angeles, CA, Florida, Saudi Arabia. 86
Had great fun with Sawyer and Nikki afterwards.
