Calling it “The Sunshine State” was a good choice.
January 14th, 2007 | It’s late on day six of tour and I am writing from a house in Fort Myers, Florida. While on tour, the choir splits up in the evenings and stays with host families (which we call “homestays”). We’ve had two hotel nights thus far and the rest have been homestays.
Tonight we are staying with a nice couple who have a beautiful home with the biggest screened-in porch I have ever laid my humble eyes upon. Let’s be honest, it’s basically a screened-in backyard with a pool and a hot tub. Speaking from experience, homestays can go either way - but we have really lucked out thus far.
We have sang in some really beautiful places, both visually and acoustically. Spivey Hall at Clayton State University may be the most acoustically rich place I have ever sang with a choir. Our director informed us that Robert Shaw elected to record all his Chorale’s music there, and his decision is entirely justifiable.
I suppose there is no need to ramble on. Tomorrow we are headed to West Palm Beach via Alligator Alley (check out this picture) and then up through Georgia thereafter. And again, you can look at a Google map of the entire tour if you wish.
Oh yeah… and have you seen the iPhone? Dang.

I like reading Scott McKnight. I am reading “How (Not) to Speak of God” right now and I get lost at some moments. Reading McKnight helped me feel like I understood something for a moment.
Hey Jake, just wanted to let you know that I’m leaving VC & DM. Got a job in Nashville, TN. My last day at church is Feb. 15. I will miss seeing you when you come home. Look me up if you are ever down that way.
