Happy Birthday, Dad!
Dad is 64 years old today! I regret that I haven't had time to write a proper blog about anything lately - from the election to poetry to Dad's birthday. But since someone said a picture is worth a thousand words, I'd like to at least share four thousand words with you on this occasion. I blogged these photos once before (see my March 2008 entry Dad: Thicker than Blood), and they remain among my favorites. Anyway, a lot of folks who read my blog regularly now did not back then, and I suspect the few folks who've been in this with me for the long haul won't mind revisiting them. Happy birthday, Pop! Hope it's a good one....

Wow, happy birthday, father of JC.
You'll not believe this, but my dad would have been 64 today if he was still alive -- 1944/11/05. How's that for coincidence?

Happy Birthday John's Dad! Love all the pics even better the second time around because I know you better now.
My mom's birthday was yesterday.
My dad's birthday is this month and so was my step dad's. They are all deceased now.

Happy B-day to your dad! He's quite the handsome fellow, and a snappy 70's dresser
I probably was the one to hand you that white tassel...
