80's Dance Music and the 80 Year old

Well, actually my grandfather is more like 84. But the other day when I was dropping off the DD and the pooch as I walked through the garage (yes, the man still smokes like a chimney and really at this age, smoke away I say) to say hello, and go into the house I noticed that Papa was listening to 80's dance music. Trenere to be more specific. Well, that's odd I thought as he is usually listening to some spanish talk radio that goes on and on and the unjustices done to Puerto Ricans. 

No, I must have heard wrong. I go into the house, ask my mother, why there is 80's dance music (of which I am a fan no doubt) on in the garage. She said, IDK, maybe it was an accident. Perhaps. So mow, I am perplexed, I go out into the garage again, and yep, it's Trenere for sure and the is just sitting there smoking a cigarette, looking out the open door and listening to this.

I go back inside, and confirm for all, that yes, the 84 year old is indeed listening to the music of my youth.  I get coffee, say my goodbyes and leave. Now Expose is on. Clearly, this was not a mistake.

And I realized, I liked 80's dance music, esp. Expose.  Ahh, good times.
