My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
For the first time in 16 years of seeing Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert, I actually took a lot of pictures at the show this year. I usually take some pictures, but not too many. Maybe this year, because I have a 'newer, smarter' phone, I thought I would take more pictures, I don't know. The pictures aren't of the highest quality in my opinion, but I share none the less. If you know me, you Continue Reading...
Sometimes I travel just to pass through an area, but many times I travel to a spot just to let it pass through me. Continue Reading...
Have you ever found yourself looking around in the darkness of your somehow closed mind, and wondered how in the world you arrived at this place? If you were to trace your steps, reflecting on every detail that you pondered in the making of choices you made, did you find that first wrong turn? No? Then you're not being completely honest with yourself. Own up; look in the mirror; search your soul, Continue Reading...
I am thankful for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In a couple of hours I will be going to see them for the 13th consecutive year. This is more than just a concert to me. Below I have included the links to the previous pieces I have written regarding TSO. I have another one or two pieces coming soon. For today, I am thankful for the band, their talents, the message they share, and the attention to Continue Reading...
We are just 13 days from Christmas and here in New Hampshire the sun is shining, the grass glistens as the frost covered blades reflect the low morning sun. The temperature outside was 20 degrees when I came downstairs this morning. The air is crisp, it's clear, and all is still as the sun climbs to its short-lived perch in the late autumn sky. This time of the year the sun only gets so high in Continue Reading...

A few days ago I wrote a post called "The first time" and it was a short story about my first time seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert. I have included that post here and I am also going to add to it. This bit will be part of my Sunday Series as well. See, in December of 2000 when I first saw TSO in concert I was in the early stages of an internal battle that I hope I never see the Continue Reading...
Upon seeing the Winter 2011 Tour visit Manchester this year, I have spent a lot of time, maybe too much time, reflecting on my experiences with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I can't help but return to the first time I saw them. It was only their 2nd tour at the time and I couldn't wait to go see them live. I have copied a list of the 2000 Tour stops from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's website. You Continue Reading...
