Been There, Done That

Last year for my grandmother's 95th birthday, my sister put together a slideshow of a bunch of old family pics. Alot of the pics I had never seen before, and a bunch of them included pics of my Dad back in the day. He looked JUST like me! He had the same dusty clothes, scrawny legs and goofy smilie like I had as a kid. And he had the same broad shoulders, groomed goatee and subtle confidence that I've developed as a young man. After seeing those pics I had a true revelation: there is nothing I have done (or hope to do) that my Dad hasn't already done. As cool and as current as I think I am, my Dad was just as cool and just as current in his day. And I have the pics to prove it!

Lesson learned: I'm proud to be my Dad's "mini-me".
