I started out the week behind everyone by a day and then in the middle of it I over corrected. TODAY is the 9th. It's John's birthday. I want him back. I saw him on the street with Yoko that day. Two quick flashes from behind. Stopped me in my tracks. I was bringing lemonade to a couple of young men who had helped me fend off some extremely unwanted attention. They were in the back yard. I was coming from the kitchen of my house in California, and through the living room with a glass of cold lemonade in each hand. Two very fast flashes. On the street by the Dakota. Almost spilled the lemonade. This would have been when they left for the studio... when his killer was on the street. Later, my roommate's girlfriend called with the news. As he was picking up the phone a blackbird crashed through the ceiling and I was looking for it on the floor when the gasps started. I was disoriented for a moment because a blackbird just crashed through the ceiling and there was no hole and no bird on the floor.

A couple days later, at a ski resort, he got into the back seat of my Bentley with me, said Yoko was fine.
