On a sunny Sunday morning, Lennon is the perfect host, setting out cheese and nuts, worrying over coffee options, and dressed more for a stage than for a day indoors, in vintage shades of brown (jacket, striped shirt, patterned pants) and a wide-brimmed hat festooned with a red feather. (Meantime, I've walked by the odd, two-storey building hundreds of times without ever noticing it, much less knowing that it had once belonged to John Lennon and Yoko Ono.)
