Puzzle of the Week #001 - Hint I

A father and a son are chatting when the son poses this question: "Dad, I'm 22 now, but just how old are you?"

The father replies, "You wanna know how old your old man is, eh? Hmm, well, I tell you what. I'm as old as your age, plus half of my age."

How old is the father?

Hint 1 :
It sound convoluted, but look again at what's been presented.

"I'm as old as your age , Plus half of my age."

This means that if you take away half of the father's age, you'll have the age of the son.

As you already know, the son is 22.
