\"1976\"<\/a>Thanks to Kodak’s old-school metadata, an ink label rubber stamped on the back of the print, I know this photo was taken (or at least developed) in July, 1976, when I was one and a half.

I haven’t blogged regularly in years, so I’m a little out of practice. We’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
