Lana and me

This picture has been put through the editing process to smudge over some creases. I found it in a plastic insert in my dad’s wallet. I think he carried it for a long, long time. Lana is nine months younger than I, but look, she is taller and her legs already leaner. Here’s a factoid: She was in the Miss Ball State Pageant when she was a freshman. I wasn’t because I went to IU . . . and  because maybe I was shorter with toddler legs. See, those are two good reasons.
