The brown Hawaiian shirt with the tan corduroy pants; the shorts worn with knee-high socks...scary times, scary times. [TwoPi has an extended family photo from that decade that I love -- everyone is happy and it's a great photo, but the dozen of them are sporting their brownest clothing.] Craig, what I like about this photo is that first, they look happy together, and second, thinking back to other photos of your parents (you had one of them playing wii) I can totally see this couple turning into that, and it makes me happy.

So that kinda defeats the purpose of a 'big deal' one. HUGS... I’d have a Pennsylvania Puntabublogger getogether…but actually, I’m having one right now, in my living room, alone.

And as I said in twitter, it takes a **LOT** for me to say that about a man in a 70's-style moustache. As I've said elsewhere on this blog, almost everything about the 70s makes me nauseous :-) It's obvious where you get your looks :-) LOLz on the "Kinsey scale" comment. I'm with Jere on the coat, though. Again. 70s. They were good at "creepy-looking coats" in the 70s. Polt. You are so unkind to my mind's eye. Nonetheless you did get a LOLIRL out of me for that one :-) Chris: if there's going to be a Princeton meet-up I want to know about it. My college-best-friend/former-roomate lives in Princeton now and he's always trying to get me to come down there for a visit ever since they left Boston. :-) I'd love to have yet another other excuse :-) Enrico -- you're right! But Craig's dad is better-looking ;-) Oh, man. Just followed Xi_Heather's links. It's not fair!! SOME OF US had to LIVE through that decade! *desperately searches for pepto bismol* As I said via Twitter, Craig, your dad was a very handsome guy.

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:11:12 +0000 http://puntabulous.com/?p=14538#comment-504819 I will join the chorus in admiring your father's coat. It looks very warm, perfect for a cold winter day like today. That would be my winter coat style (I would want a light and dark one). Then for warmer weather I would want a lighter weight long coat (feat. puffy shirt and vest) like Charie in the movie Star Dust ( http://www.collider.com/uploads/imageGallery/Stardust/stardust_movie_image_charlie_cox__claire_danes.jpg ) (once again in a dark and light version). They do look like a cute couple. Your mother seems quite tall. No wonder you are the towering giant of a many you are. ;) John: When do we get to see your baby face in person? I.E. When are you joining us for an NJ blogger meet-up in Princeton!?!? I wonder if we could even get Craig to come! Heck, he drives to Pennsylvania for football, maybe he would drive ( or take the train) to Princeton for a meet-up. I will join the chorus in admiring your father’s coat.
