She went to a Halloween party and wore my old Grateful Dead hat the one that I decorated myself. I used to wear that hat to some cool shows back in the day. She also wore her mom’s tie dye shirt from our early dating days. And she wore her own socks… that she tie dyed herself. Here is a picture of my old hat…
And here is another one…
I love that hat. I used to have this fake rose with a battery in it. The rose had those clear filaments in it that lit up and changed color. That hat was awesome in a dark show, especially if you were… uh… in the right mood… so to speak.
On top of that, my 15-year-old has a quick mind. I told her a joke that I made up last night.
What kind of paper does a lobster write letters on?
Crustationery…
Hey, I said I made it up, I didn’t say it was good. But before I could even say the punch line, without missing a beat, she gave me an answer that was at least as funny as mine:
Sand paper.
HA!
I love that kid.
Pouring My Art Out 
Your daughter sounds like she inherited your humor! I should have known you were a Dead Head! I went to a couple of their concerts back in the day, my older sister and her husband were big fans of the band too and I got to tag along. I remember one outdoor concert I think it was in Eugene or somewhere south of Portland anyway, the atmosphere was definately laid-back and there was a lot of tie-dyed everything. I will never forget the image of a naked guy dancing, in his own little world not caring about anyone around him… come to think of it, he looked a lot like you… hmmmm 😉
you wish… HA!
seriously… do a search for ‘grateful dead’ on my blog, and some weird things will come up.
How the heck do you reply so fast to my comments?? Are you actually a bot? That would be quite a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, fooling everyone like that…
silence, soft-skinned, carbon based life form!
eek!
yup
Awee! She takes after you. 🙂
In some good ways
So cool when the next generation takes an interest in our past.
Tie dye never goes out of style… for long…
Awesome.
she is, thanks
They both are, by the sounds of it. 🙂
well… yeah
Playing to my weakness?
would I stoop to that?
Nooooo, not you!
ha
yeah
A chip off the old block!
I want that skull
When you come to visit, I will give it to you… and then drive you to the airport just to see the looks on the faces of Homeland Security when they scan your bag…
I don;t need no trouble with them 😀
no… you do not…
