Rambling about my first thoughts

My first thoughts about my theme; "My life in a yellow submarine" were:

The Beatle's song which I always loved.
That some of my little students sing this song!
I have the CD - somewhere.
....but, WHAT WHAT WHAT is "my life in a yellow submarine" -
what does that MEAN? how can I sketch that?

Oh, it means nothing. It means everything.
We all live in a yellow submarine.

I had not EVER seen the movie "Yellow Submarine"
or read the book Yellow Submarine!
I really don't know anything except I like that song!

So,
I started thinking and thinking.
I listened to the song a few times.
I printed out the lyrics.
I started reading and reading.
Lots of info and comment on the Internet.

I checked out the VHS movie from my local library.
I showed it to my whole family - grown-up kids and their friends!
We had dinner and then all got cozy in the River Room to watch it.
We laughed about it - quoted favorite lines;
"I'm a born lever puller".
It's a crazy psychedelic cartoon!
and we talked about the story, the meaning, the submarine.

I had to order the book through inter library loan.
Yes, the book is much better than the movie!
