It took me by surprise to stumble across an online reference to today having been the day John Lennon was killed. That's happened a few times over the past few years, and it has me wondering how long it takes history and historical events to fall from relevance and prominence. How many people still know the day that Curt Cobain died? Ritchie Valens. Elvis, or how many more years will pass before 9/11 has any real significance? We don't dwell on the fall of Rome anymore. It's interesting how history becomes "ancient "and its relevance wanes. Also, not working has me far less attached to calendar dates. I made a trip up to Jikoji for a Jukai ceremony. I may try to stay a few days while some of the visiting priests are there. It would be a good opportunity to make some substantial connections. Lauren called on impulse, and it was a good chat. I needed to hear some of the things she said. I finished the work on Jen's gift and placed the order. It should arrive just before Christmas. Tommy continues to maintain a defensive distance, revealing much about his limitations and maturity. And damn, it has been getting crazy cold lately. Thermals-level cold. Especially if I do stay this week.
