So I've had my dad in my head the last couple of weeks, partially from an email, and part from ongoing bureaucracy.

The email included three pictures of my dad, one of which you can see here. Don't know what else I can add to it and my captioning, other than to say his manner of dress did improve over time, though he never lost his taste for bright colors. I was pretty young when the picture was taken, probably no more than 12.

The bureaucratic part of things came in the US mail, as I got both his reapplication for his driver's licence and his new AFSCME membership card. How he's still a member in good standing without having worked in a couple of years is beyond me, but then again what do I know about how unions work? I did contact the AFSCME local to straighten things out, but haven't called the registry yet. It may be better just to let things lapse given how helpful the RMV usually is.
