This was a Hard Day’s Night.
I was trying to Act Naturally.
As we all know, All Things Must Pass
Then I remembered All You Need Is Love
Even when the twenty-fifth has not got Any Time at All
It is much easier when you Ask Me Why
But I feel like such a Bad Boy
I just find myself Crying, Waiting, Hoping
Do You Want to Know a Secret?
Some things Don't Ever Change
It is a good thing there is not Eight Days a Week
‘Cause Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
They are just Fixing a Hole For No One
Things are really Getting Better and I am Glad All Over
Aloha means Hello, Goodbye
Help! I have that ole Hippy Hippy Shake
And you know I Don't Want to Spoil the Party
Still, I Forgot to Remember to Forget
I Should Have Known Better than to make this commitment.
I'll Be Back or I'll Be on My Way or I'll Cry Instead or I'll Follow the Sun
I'm So Tired I'm Talking About You In Spite of All the Danger
It's All Too Much and I've Got a Feeling this is Junk
Perhaps I will Let It Be Misery
The Paperback Writer of Penny Lane wanted to write Rock and Roll Music for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but what happened was Strawberry Fields Forever
"The End"

Yesterday the morning sky was a misty orange and yellow as the sun rose. Color lit the high clouds in all directions. The air was crisp but soon it would warm. As I walked for my daily exercise I was glad I had only a short-sleeve shirt on.
At the coffee shop I happened to see a friend. We visited and as soon as he was gone, another friend showed up. It turned into a long visit at the coffee shop.
As the Sun moved higher and the colors changed, I noticed how my world also changed its hue. At the same time, the temperature rose and I began to feel more comfortable. I walked home contemplating what I would write that morning. Perhaps I would describe the morning colors, but I did not.
Today, the sky was clear and the color that was so impressive yesterday was noticeably absent. I wondered why there was so much difference. I enjoyed my morning walk. As I returned home I began to write. The wonder of the difference between one morning and the next triggered my desire to describe what I saw yesterday.
I await the gifts this day has yet to bestow.

Three years after Doc Brown left 1955, it was November 23, 1958 when Ronald and Nancy Reagan appeared together in the GE Theatre production of A Turkey for the President. Funny or fiction, you choose.
[which has nothing to do with The Prize]

What is it about things I think have to do?
I want to do that thing and nevertheless, because feel I have to do it, I procrastinate.
Then there is that whole “under the wire” dynamic that goes along with the procrastination thing.
The process reminds me of being in school again, but it does not make me feel young again.
In adult life I was able to make and execute plans that prevented this kind of problem.
That success did not make the problem go away.
I wonder what the difference is between planning for problems and thinking I have no problems.
From now on, I will make up some problems that I can plan to avoid.
Clearly, I always have problems and I am just fooling myself when I think I have no problems.
I had a nice long talk with my daughter. [smiles]
She is so busy, but when I call she seems to have time to chat about whatever comes up.
My son, on the other hand, is way too much like his father.
My Sister is also easy to talk to.
Family has so many funky little quirks, I guess that is why it is also called a nucleus.
