The ravages of time

I’m feeling a bit old these days. Consider these photos:



Now consider this story. I was wearing a t-shirt over the weekend emblazoned with a picture of John Lennon, a peace symbol and a flag (at right). My niece was in from Iowa. Hannah, who is 8, saw the shirt and asked if it was Harry Potter. I laughed, told her it was John Lennon. Her response: Who is he?

Yes, feeling a bit old.
