Should I be academic, or should I...  DEVOUR THIS GINGERBREAD HOUSE!? Fear not. I have a red cowl. Cartoon Self Portrait Taylor Under Glass

Younger Son, A/K/A Number Five

Taylor was born the day our fence was blown down by a fierce autumn chinook in December, 1995.
Our little 1200-square-foot house was too cozy, so we relocated a few months later to a different neighborhood.
Our next house was palatial by comparison, at 2800 square feet, although it wouldn't be long before it too was
no longer big enough for the seven of us. But that's another story...

Stubborn boy. Didn't want to breathe.

This boy learned to crawl at his own pace, then to walk, following in the foot steps of his older brother.
In fact, they became quite inseparable. Taylor actually aquired his nickname from his big brother,
who named him "Bub." We always figured it was a toddler-form of "brother." Just a wild guess.

Doesn't this have a wangy bar??

Taylor usually repeated his brother, so the sounds that emanated from their conversations usually
sounded akin to a deep-voiced toddler/scientist (Eli) & his most-agreeable parrot-like assistant (Taylor).
On one very infamous day, the boy-scientists, working literally side-by-side with the Hersheys between
the two of them, dribbled the entire 16-ounce bottle of chocolate syrup all over the new berber carpeting
in the living room. And on the basement stairs. And in the basement family room.

Taylor has become a cartoonist, and has invented characters, such as Sewer Man,
and Stupid Squirrel, and at times can be sublimely prolific with his production work ( !!! ).
Along with teaching himself to play the guitar, he learned how to produce videos. In his high school
years, he has been working with fellow students at Thunderbird TV (TBTV), broadcasting on closed-
circuit at East High. Art work seems to really be his favorite thing.

Jumping with his shadow!

He's either gotten baptized by his brother or water boarded... Still, he's smiling.
Praise the Lord,
Sweet Air!

Says he likes to fly...
Speaking of air...
January, 2010

Like his mom, brother & sisters, he loves to snowboard, and he is keen on accumulating air time.
In the Autumn of 2009, he joined his school's wrestling team, but his season was cut short by
an unfortunate concussion. The most he's wrestled since then are ripe jack-o-lanterns.

Camera... what's he doing with that camera...

Like his brother, he has more than dabbled in climbing with his dad, preferring rock to
slogging great distances in the mountains. In the dry winter of 2012, Spring Break was
marked by scant snow conditions, so he and his brother tried tandem paragliding. (AUGH!)

In June of 2012, he traveled to Italy with his art teacher and several other high school students.
He came home with a new insight into the Old World and its legacy of great works. I don't think
he minded coming back to the dust and the wind. Wyoming is, after all, his birthplace!

Hey. No life jacket required!
