This was so HUMAN if that makes sense. Nuanced and witty, a little bit devastating, and overall beautiful. I’m so sorry for your loss and thank you for writing this

I appreciate you writing through your grief, ESK. 💕

That’s no mullet- mullets didn’t come on the scene until later in the 80s (84 onward, mostly late 80s)- that’s just “guy hair” before any kind of product appeared on the market (mousse appears c. 1983, hair gel other than Dep was a few years later). Think “Dukes of Hazard” hair or Tom Selleck in the OG “Magnum PI”, who was the hottest man around for YEARS. Dale is clearly doing that with his hair (zero product).

I can’t help you with the sneakers, as we were too poor to get name-brand! I wore Sonics from Sears.😁
