On Returning

~~~

It’s been difficult to catch ones breath between TMtsTMIII: Stonehenge, BSMXIII, the terror, OPETH, and the sickness (which now seems to be waning)

Hopefully in days ahead there will be more accounts of various GTs past, present, and future.

Looking ahead, some GTs to look forward to:

“The OFFICIAL Black Sabbath “13” listening party on The Old Kings Highway”

“July 4th”

“July 22nd”

… and the newly formed:

The Mission to see The Mission IV: NY3

here’s some pictures of TMtsTMIII: Stonehenge:

Dawn at The New Great Hall by the Sea on Black Sabbath Monday XIII:

We had just reached the apex of the trip and were readying to return when the tragedy in Boston popped our BSM bubble.

We did not let the terror win, no, the programme continued.

Tech Support provided the Team with Libretto’s this year, a winning stroke of augmentation! During the first part of the day we marveled at the seemingly spiritual insights being gleaned. During the ride home the lyrics seemed all to prophetic, contemporary, and … now.

The Wife and I had just returned from our “Mission to See The Mission III: Stonehenge”, and were not only rather knackered, a devil bug had stolen my voice and elected to reside in my chest. The Wife was not without a visit from said bug as well …

But the momentum was un-stoppable: BSMXIII was going to happen, and did it ever.

A crack team of BSM veterans, and for the first time all assembled.

Assignments were given, and executed with masterful precision.

Did I mention how great it was to have the Librettos?

So, just a mere 363 days til BSMXIV!
