Small impromptu John Lennon tributes

Originally uploaded by betsythedevine

In a beautiful riff on growing up and growings older (whose title I stole for this post) David Weinberger writes today:

By December 8, 1980, nothing had gone wrong in my life. My parents were middle middle class, although growing up I thought we were wealthy. None of my desires were frustrated (well, except for prom night, but that’s a different story)…

Another great Weinbergerism on John Lennon there: “What a great blogger he would have been, so eager to be imperfect in public.”

This photo was taken when I accidentally found myself in NYC and part of a spontaneous John Lennon memorial on the 25th anniversary of his death.

To quote John Lennon (and his Quotations Page), “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
