The Horn Cake

Buzzed
“When I was growing up, my dad was an amateur beekeeper. When a large swarm appeared in our backyard, Dad posed the neighbor Kenny and me (age 4) in front of it, for perspective I suppose. Those are finger puppets on my hands. We have other photos where we are standing even closer, but those didn’t come out as well.”

Bear Lake
“A very short-lived photo studio opened at the mall near our house and my brother and I begged for months to get our family photo taken there. Finally, our parents relented and our family spent a glorious evening trying a variety of poses and costumes before selecting this gem. The real highlight came with people’s reactions to the photo after we had it framed and placed over the fireplace. Because this was before the advent of Photoshop, a lot of people ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED…even one of my brother’s girlfriends.”
