Riding by

 So is the guy riding by the Wings Over Europe bus just a random person, not paying any attention of the brightly painted bus or the former Beatle and his new band standing in the upper deck?  Or is he someone connected with Wings and is staged in the photo?   Because if it is the first choice -- Wow -- you should look up!

Remembering John

Photo taken by Hiroshi Yasunaga

We remember John Lennon as so many different things.  He was one of the Beatles,  a songwriter, a musician, a rock n roller, a teddy boy.   John was a lad from Liverpool.   He was a New Yorker.   He was a peace activist.  He was a protester.  He was a dreamer.   John Lennon was an author and an artist.  He was a funny guy.  He was smart.  He was serious.   John was a friend.

One thing often gets overlooked:  John Lennon was a husband and a Father.   When he was murdered, Yoko became a widow and Sean no longer had a Daddy.    Today I want to remember John as a Dad that would wear flip-flops while riding a bike with his toddle strapped to seat in the back while on vacation in Japan.
