Dad's Visit
My 63 year old dad was here for the weekend, getting ready for a 10 day trip delivering a sailboat from here in CT to TX. We had a great time...though I feel a little talked-out. After one day spent hanging around the house, we got hit with some of the best weather we've had here in weeks...so we had to break out. My dad and I are cut from a pretty similar cloth, I think...here are some photos illustrating that very point.
Here we are at the summit of East Rock park, overlooking all of New Haven. I am clearly amazed by something.
This was taken out at Bill's, a seafood shack out on the shoreline and coincidentally across the street from the marina where my dad had to pick up the boat. This interaction is pretty much what the whole three days looked like.
We would take turns...this time, it's me bullshitting and HIM looking at ME in disbelief.
My dad always looks his very best when he's gazing off into the distance, with the sun in his face.
Oddly enough, so do I.
Dad looking pretty salty, just after dropping him off at the boat.
He becomes at home pretty quickly.
After dropping him off at the boat, I also saw Steve, a friend of my dad's who I hadn't seen in about 13 years. He told me to go get a haircut and go visit my mom. Jeez-o.
