I was in second grade in (upstate) NY when JFK was shot. We'd been out
on the playground, and one of the other teachers pulled Mrs. Sullivan
aside to tell her. I also remember seeing Lee Harvey Oswald get shot on
live TV the following Sunday.

I'd gone to bed early in Dallas (interesting symmetry there) the night
Lennon was shot, and didn't hear about it until the following morning.
For someone who remembers seeing all of the Beatles' appearances on the
Ed Sullivan Show, it was a great shock and sadness. Twenty-one years
later, I remember the SO waking me up with the news that George Harrison
had died.

OB Food: Tonight's dinner is Cuban roast pork with bananas, black
beans, and rice on the side. Why not plantains, you may ask? Because
we didn't buy plantains two weeks ago so they could ripen properly. (We
are in Seattle, after all.)
