This is me in the foreground and my cousin David "Slimmy" Alcala in the background.
(Check out those saddle shoes).
When I was growing up, I always thought Slimmy's flattop was the
coolest - it was always perfect. I guess some people are born with
cool flattops.
Slimmy was at my mom and dad's house many years back to help celebrate
my sister Linda's birthday. He was still crazy as ever but I've got
to hand it to him, he had looked great for being almost 60. I never did find his
secret to pass on to all you Baby Boomers.
Slimmy reminded me of Mick Jagger. You know, getting up
there in age but still being young in spirit. In fact, Mick is
at that awkward age now, he's between being a stone and
passing one.
