Lucky Day

Another lucky day, one of four in the calendar year, being as there the Beatles were a quartet, each of them having a birthday, each of them having lifted the heart of my wretched 13-year-old self, long ago and far away, stuck in a messy old house full of little brothers + one little sister and a pair of miserable parents limping along in the chiggery, wasp-buzzing, weedy boondocks down around Chilhowee, Missouri.

February 25. George

June 18. Paul

July 7. Ringo (70? Can this be true? Yikes.)

October 9. John

sigh.
