There's a gentleman who stops by my department at work to chat whenever he's in the store. He's a retired dentist, around 80 years old, who owns a pug and has a daughter about my age. He keeps me up to date on his tomato-growing techniques and travel plans, and sometimes asks for advice on cooking or cheese. Yesterday he stopped in wearing a pair of Sanuk slippers, which I recognized as not your regular grandpa slippers. I asked him where he got his hipster shoes, and he said that they were a gift from his daughter. I immediately traveled back in time to the era of the Jerry Garcia tie, when my dad was the first old guy on his block to have one. I thought, I wish I could give my dad a pair of hipster shoes. For a few minutes I really missed him.
