Little baby bro, Joe Hoyt, is all growed up now. Today's his 62nd. b'day, and folks are celebrating far and wide.
Joe's wife of 30-plus years Nancy Ann, set out to bake Joe-D's fave gluten-free cake. Into the bowl went the mixings. A loving hand turned the ingredients until they were just right. Then the 350-degree oven down in Coral Gables, FL opened wide to embrace the cake-to-be.
Half an hour later, to hear Joe tell it, there was a "muffled explosion in the kitch. There'd been a chemical reaction of some kind. Nancy's fool-proof cake recipe had gone horribly wrong, and the results, as you see above, were the birthday bummer of all time."
Off to bed J + N went, big smile on their faces in spite of the cake catastrophe, but nary a nibble of dessert in their bellies.
"There's always next year," as Nancy mused philosophically.
