missing herbert.....

ok, so today when i was driving to the recycling center, through centre's campus, i spied a man and his daughter....walking deliberately....and the man looked so much like my dad i almost stopped the car......he was wearing my dad's favorite casual get-up.......taupe polyester pants, and a beige button down shirt....in polyester (it IS drip dry......) and a sunhat........belt matched shoes.......i heard today on npr that there is a link between people who do not read for pleasure and alzheimers.....i do not buy that, as my dad did the nyt crossword daily, completely, in pen......people like that are in the same league of people who read novels daily, aren't they?.........anyway.........i miss my dad.......
