Some mornings I wake up and see my father looking at me in the mirror, but usually it's like seeing my Uncle Charlie. Several years ago, before he passed away himself, my uncle's son (Charles, Jr.) approached me and said how eerie it was to see me, since I looked so much like his dad.

When we were kids, my cousin Chris and I would joke about how we hoped we wouldn't grow up to look like various uncles. Naturally, both of us did!

Btw, that's how I look on my City of Orange ID. Donna's right! I do need new glasses.
