SCHOOL STARTS
As always way too soon.  I'm not going back this year.  Oh, probably to Bible Study Fellowship for my 10th year.  I call our weekly lessons "homework" but it's really not since we receive no grades.

But if I were, I'd make an essay assignment:  Name and discuss your favorite Beatles' song.  Only one.

Just a few weeks ago we were in Liverpool.  A beautiful large city of half a million.  Located on the Mersey River.  No one my age can look at it and not sing "Ferry 'cross the Mersey".  But we were also privy to Penny Lane.

If it weren't before, it's now my favorite Beatle song.

To pass along the street and see where "the barber's taking photographs of every head he's had the pleasure to know".  Well, and to see the "turnabout" that helped people.  To see "Strawberry Fields" solidified the visual.

So that would be my topic, if not my completed document.

But school doesn't start for me, so I won't finish the assignment.  But I will long remember Penny Lane and Liverpool.
