The coolest thing I found (and it's because of the personal connection) was information about how
Cary Grant was one of the celebrities who was being treated with LSD by his therapist. I think I
found this picture in a small article in the back of a 1956 Newsweek.
.
The personal connection? Around 1962, at school they gave us the vaccine against polio. The local
newspaper had sent out a photographer and he chose me to "model" for the article. My headshot
has the same look of ecstatic joy as Grant's does (although my hand wasn't in the picture). The
polio vaccine had been eyedroppered onto a sugar cube -- also a common delivery method for
acid at the time. My mouth was wide open and the sugar cube was sitting on my tongue. I felt a
hilarious connection with him because of this.

Technically, I no longer had this photo in Photobucket -- and I lost the newspaper article/photo
of young Master MiddleFingerMom years ago, but it was one of my favorite pictures of myself ever.
.
And this picture is hilarious with or without my backstory.
