Snarky's Story (the early years)

Snarky wanted some old photos posted on here. Afterall, being a 35 yr-old sourdough starter is an accomplishment. I'm not sure if counts like dog years, but there should be some sort of shout out on the Today Show for being maintaining a sourdough for 35 years!

I'm thinking the story goes something this:
Kid - Mom, can I have a dog?
Mom - No! But, if you can keep a sourdough starter alive and healthy, we'll think about getting a dog.
Kid -

Kid grows up and invents Webkinz. The sourdough starter was the preliminary of the preliminary prototype for Webkinz. In a way, it was ol' skoole Webkinz. I'm going to stop writing Webkinz, because I do not in any way support or endorse Webkinz. If you click on Webkinz and order something, I get no $ from it. I haven't figured out how to monetize on the blogosphere yet. So, just send me a check directly if you happen to order a Webkinz. Of course, you could have a sourdough starter virtually for free!

Back to Snarky. And the old photos.

This photo was taken during the Big Chill in 1980. Snarky has fond memories of sledding with the Kid.

This is Snarky in 1984 at 10 yrs of age. The party was at Great Skate Roller Rink. Snarky remembers the first boy/girl skate, it was to the song "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago. Pizza on a sourdough crust was served. Snarky knew then that sourdough can make a difference in life. Snarky was inspired.

Snarky won first place in a Halloween Costume Contest. Snarky was cleverly disguised as......Pancake Batter.  Clever, huh? Snarky says the costume was made from scratch.
