I miss him like crazy.
It still seems like just yesterday I heard the news today, oh boy.
Interesting picture there, Kris.

"Underneath the superficial self, which pays attention to this and that, there is another self more really us than I. And the more you become aware of the unknown self -- if you become aware of it -- the more you realize that it is inseparably connected with everything else that is. You are a function of this total galaxy, bounded by the Milky Way, and this galaxy is a function of all other galaxies. You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes. You look and look, and one day you are going to wake up and say, "Why, that's me!" And in knowing that, you know that you never die. You are the eternal thing that comes and goes, that appears -- now as John , now as Mary -- and so it goes, forever and ever and ever."

Alan Watts (1915-1973)

Shine on John...

John will always be remembered and honoured by me until the day I also leave this mortal abode. He left us far too early. I still miss him.

This is a painting by Karl Meersman, a Belgian artist. It was included on a desktop calendar our company printed for internal use, and has eleven of Karl's other paintings. They're all of music and film celebrities - Some are satirical, others just kind of far out. This one is especially pointed and serious.

Happy Birthday John, The world misses you!

Happy Barfday, Johnny!

A Surprise for Little Bobby

It was little Bobby's birthmark today and he got a surprise. His very fist was lopped off, (The War) and he got a birthday hook!
All his life Bobby had wanted his very own hook; and now on his 39th birthday his pwayers had been answered. The only trouble was they had send him a left hook and ebry dobby knows that it was Bobby's right fist that was missing as it were.
What to do was not thee only problem: Anyway he jopped off his lest hand and it fitted like a glove. Maybe next year he will get a right hook, who knows?

---John Lennon

I instinctively knew it was someone's birthday today. Funny, how we remember Beatle birthdays like our own families....mabye because we think of them as family.....

Happy Birthday John. Don't forget that it is Sean's birthday too.

Meh, I didn't listen to a Sean album yesterday though. He's not as important.

I think Sean's sweet. I like both the boys.

A belated happy 68th, John.

I took the day off from work in his honor and to go to the dentist. And, no, my dentist didn't treat me to the same party favors as his dentist.
