Found an old picture of my dad while flipping through a book (what was it doing there? I have no idea), and it very nearly had me in tears. I'm not sure why, really,
its not exactly a meaningful picture:
Its just him, at some random work function, amused as hell. Odds are good he was pulling someone's leg, and waiting for them to catch on. Or going by the flush, he may have been slightly drunk. I saw him sloshed once, when I was little, and it freaked me the hell out -- he was a very happy drunk.
I just had to edit that into the past-tense. Its been what, five years? And I'm all choked up and can't keep my tenses straight from a picture of absolutely nothing. What the fuck, self?
