kudos to anyone that knows where the title of this entry originated....alternate title: my dad was a dude.
this is my dad and his youngest brother, circa late 1960's to early 1970's. if anyone remembers me telling about his skiing up the slope of the slew, this is the swimsuit he was wearing that day. he's holding scott (a cousin) who apparently was unhappy about the tightness of the trunks. please note my dad is wearing shoes - now i know where my baby brother's always wearing shoes thing comes from. the yellow lifevest is being rocked by bruce (another cousin) and i'm not sure who is standing beside bruce - it's not me...but there is not enough face to tell who it is.
yesterday was my dad's birthday - it's hard to realize how very young he is in this photograph. isn't that weird to realize about our parents when we see them frozen in time? look how much fashion has changed - short trunks/tight trunks, his hair, the lifevests...even his loafers.
so many good times on the shores of this lake - so many good times.
