The Thought of the Day (TOTD) which ends each episode of Reflections, my TV show, had its genesis in exactly the reverse way. Over time I always had a deep desire to share my thoughts on travel, literature, theatre, music and opera with others who may find them interesting. So the original concept of Reflections was to share this accumulated knowledge with both the young and the not so young. However, as we tried to flesh out the details, we realized that the Thought would make a great book end resulting in the guest interview concept. So even though the Thought is not directly aligned with the guest, it makes for a thoughtful ending and a great way to tell my personal story. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did sharing them.
