I am currently in Ft. Lauderdale visiting my parents for Easter. I feel at home down here because I was born only 15 miles west of here in Plantation, FL. I loved growing up in south Florida and have many fond memories of a simpler time. My parents did not always have the best judgement though.
I was looking through some old photo albums and came across a picture of my grandmother and me celebrating her 70th birthday party. Note the slick Miami Dolphins jammies! You may be asking yourself, “Is mike really drinking champagne?” I am afraid the answer is indeed yes. My parents let me have a taste to help celebrate the special occasion. I told you they did not always have the best judgement. The bigger question for me, though, is what the heck is in my left hand? Was this a swingers party or something? Come to think of it, I do remember an empty fishbowl with keys in it. Ahh, the 70s.
Great story Mike! Thanks for sharing your blog as I had not seen it before. I wonder about parental judgement too…what parent would let their 13 year old take their 8 year old to a Zeppelin concert? Lol… I look forward to reading more stories uncorked.
Cheers,
Lynne
