It's Johnny's Birthday...Imagine

John Lennon would have been 68 today. He died December 8th, 28 years ago.

Dear Friends

with love, yoko

As if it weren't enough that I knocked myself out in April participating in 30 Days of Photos, now dear Nicky and Mike over at We Work For Cheese have corralled a bunch of us suckers into a 30 Days of Writing exercise. Yeah, I know. I must have stupid written backwards on my forehead. I don't know how they figured it out. They would have had to look in my mirror to realize it.
