A sad day

Today is the 25th anniversary of the death of John Lennon. Every December 8, I get sad all over again. Lennon, like all humans, was flawed, of course, but his gift to us was considerable, in terms of art, entertainment, and his call to promote peace, speak honestly, and eradicate sexism. He was also very witty, and the likes of him are hard to find in today's often witless, unoriginal world.

Yoko Ono's gift to all of us is Strawberry Fields, Lennon's special area of Central Park.
