Old Man

Cue the Neil Young song.  Here's a picture my cousin Nick sent a while back, and one that I've been meaning to post.  It's my Dad, sometimes back in the 1970s.  And, yes, I'll note the similarity. My father just turned eighty, and despite the structural damage caused by his infamous fall out of a tree he's doing well physically.

I don't think I can be too accurate with the year, although I'm guessing more earlier 70s than later, which would make him around fifteen years younger than I am now.  It's strange to imagine Young singing Old Man almost fifty years after he wrote it, but then it's strange to think that I'd ever be fifty-seven.
