dear ol’ dad

Here’s an old picture of my dad. (Can you tell I’ve recently discovered a stash of old photos?) Sorry the image isn’t too clear. I tell you this — I have my dad’s eyes, same shape, same color, but I’m very fair and, well, USUALLY a blonde. Although, I’ve been nearly every color and I must say I liked being a redhead a lot.

I like to embarrass my dad by saying things over these photos like “hubba hubba, Dad” or “Look at you, Dad! You’re such a hottie!” He actually blushes. And he’s not that dark, actually. He was just tan. And lemme tell ya, he’s almost 70 and he looks 50. I’m not kidding. It’s a Dorian Gray thing, complete with a picture aging in the attic somwhere. Of course, my parents’ house doesn’t have an attic — which actually makes it even MORE freakish.

Anyway, however he’s doing it, he still deserves a “hubba hubba.”

And he always has a twinkle in his eyes.
