My dad turned 76 today. Several years ago my aunt tranfered a super 8 movie onto video. The film was of a party at my aunt's place. It was 1963. I was 2 years old. Everyone had a drink, everyone had a cigarette. Sinatra was king. My Dad was younger then, than I am now. He was wearing this cool old Hawaiian shirt, a simple indigo, green and black leaf patern with silver buttons with the likeness of King Kamehameha on them. When I was in high school, that shirt had long since been retired to the back of the old man's closet. I wore it 'till it was in shreds. He used to say, "Don't wear my shirt". I'd promise not to, but, I'd wear it anyway. Almost 40 years after that party, I still have the silver King Kamehameha buttons. That was a good shirt.
