Two years ago, I was filming my family’s fireworks show when things took a turn for the worse:

I suffered second-degree burns. In hindsight, I probably should have been farther back, but the journalist in me, of course, had to document our holiday experience.

My parents live in rural Oklahoma, and every year, we have a large fireworks display.

This year was no different. This past weekend, our neighbors came over, and a grand time was had by all. And, in case you’re curious, no camerawomen were harmed.
