Last Home Game

October 25, 2008 Christopher D. Bennett

Last Friday was Brandon’s final home game. It was the first time that I’ve been to a Boone High football game since I graduated high school.

It was an interesting experience. Some things have changed. Some surprising things happened. I took some pictures.

Behind the bleachers fenced off.

Brandon is #78.

I was very surprised to see that the underside of the bleachers are now fenced off. That is where all the good stuff at a high school football game is supposed to happen.

I ran into Dan and had a nice conversation with him. Dan has shaved his head since the last time I’ve seen him. Not a bad look for him.

I ran into Dan’s wife Kim. She thanked me for forwarding on news of her work on attempting to block the strip club/juice bar from coming into town. She was very happy that the news had made it all the way to Illinois. She also revealed the real reason why she wants to stop the strip club/juice bar from coming to town. I’m not sure it is a legitimate reason.

It was also exciting that Sara made it all the way from Des Moines to the game. This was also the first high school football game that Sara has been to since she graduated from Ogden. I honestly can’t believe that she came.

The Brandon Kahler Project: Chapter 1 – Frustration

October 23, 2008 Christopher D. Bennett

There are a limited amount of places a guy can go to get real black and white film processed. One of them is a local company that I will not name. I’ve had very poor results going to them.

But I recently took some film there to get processed from Brandon’s senior picture shoot. I did this because despite my better judgment I listened to somebody rave on and on about how great they were.

This was a mistake. Below are some of the images from that roll of film. Some of these pictures I really, really like, even though they wouldn’t qualify as your normal Senior Pictures.

Apparently it is part of their film processing procedures to run the negative through a loose hair and dust bin before they print the pictures.

Senior Pictures

September 20, 2008 Christopher D. Bennett

Saturday morning I took Brandon’s Senior pictures. I’d like to share some of my favorite pictures from that photo shoot.

It is good to take pictures of somebody that doesn’t mind when you need to stop to take some quality frog pictures.

I also had supper with Shorty, Doris, Tim, Rebecca and Nate. Doris told us the joke that their Pastor (Pastor Rod) had told the congregation on that day. I thought it was kind of funny.

“The elders of the church decided that since Easter was coming up they wanted to have a really special speaker for the Service. They thought about it for a bit and they decided that they wanted the most knowledgeable Pastor they could find to give the sermon.
So they went to him and he turned them down.
They thought about it some more and decided they should get the most eloquent Pastor to give the sermon.
So they found the most eloquent Pastor and asked him, but he turned them down.
They went back to the church and thought about it some more. They decided that they should get the best looking Pastor they could find to give the sermon.
So they found the best looking Pastor and asked him, but he turned them down.
They went back to the church and thought about it some more.
Then one of them said: “Well we can still get Pastor Rod.”
They all decided that was a good idea and they came to me and asked me to give the sermon on Easter Sunday.
I told them, “Yes.”
After all, I had already turned them down three times.”

I hope you had a Happy Easter.

Homecoming

September 30, 2007 Christopher D. Bennett

This past weekend was Homecoming in Boone. This ended up being quite the production for Johnathan, Elainie, and Brandon. Below are some pictures of them all dressed up and looking slick. As you can tell, Elainie was really into getting her picture taken. Brandon and Johnathan? Not so much.
