my parents with their wedding certificate
Three good things that happened in this pic:
1. my dad's checking out the flying conditions instead of looking at the camera
2. my mum's not evidently pregnancy despite my being only five months away (not that she ever cared what you think, buster)
3. they actually were young hip and groovy
I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
