In Pictures; The Oxygen Kid
Bob Bosse of South Dakota Public Television wanted some old pictures of me for his Dakota Life segment (which should be out in May, by the way.) I had been meaning for quite some time to find old photos and learn how to run the scanner, and this was the perfect opportunity.
I can now add ’scanner’ to the list of technological devices with which I have a tumultuous relationship. But I got all the pictures scanned so I may as well share a few with you.
It truly is a shame what happened to this little guy…
- Cowboy Dad and Hippie Looking Mom celebrate Hubba’s first birthday.
- Possibly taken at my second birthday. I’m awful excited about something…
- A darling version of me in 1986. I was always a cowboys fan, both the people and the team.
- See? I had a horse and an oxygen hose that doubled as a rope. I was never any better with a real rope than I was with the oxygen hose.
- Me and my great Uncle William Warren O’Connell. If it wasn’t for him and one other someone, I probably still wouldn’t be walking today.
- Here’s the other someone. My mentor, best friend and the closest thing to a big brother I ever had, Big Dan.
- My junior prom date, Ms. Kayla Schearer, now Mrs. Kayla Eimers. (I didn’t even kiss her JimBob.)
- The whole fam-damily, ten years ago. Left to right, as best as I can: Joe, Austin and Gemma on an elderly Dan, John Paul and Al, Becky right smack in the center, Steph on a completely unremarkable horse, Dad, Mom holding Maria, me on Butch, and Julie holding a baby Carl.

You can see what I mean by “tumultuous relationships.” I never know what these things are going to look like until I hit “Publish”
