Spent some time wandering through Central Park today. Strawberry Fields was packed with people, hanging out, taking pictures...I didn't need to see the mosaic again, which is good since it was impossible to get close. It's nice, after all these years, a third of a century later, Lennon us remembered by so many.

It is a goal of mine to get there someday. New York City has a lot to recommend it but I wouldn't make the trek to see a mosaic on the ground several hundred feet from John Lennon's apartment. It's nice that people still pay tribute but it's not like there much to see or do on that spot.

I went there last year and liked the idea of the place - somewhere for quiet, peaceful contemplation - and loathed the fact that it was overflowing with people who had decided to ignore that.

But you didn't go to the Dakota. Well, not right up to it, Any regrets ? No, none. I stood on Central Park West and looked at the entry way - even from 50 yards I recognised it from the photos. I looked at the place where my childhood reached its end, and quietly offered up thanks and respects to John in my head. I'm not sure I would have been able to keep it together if I'd gone up there - it's not as if it's a touristy place to visit to add to the "Hey, I've been there" list, it's the place where John Lennon- my John Lennon - was murdered.
