Feeling short today
I was sent to the grocery store to pick up some last minute stuff we really don’t need this morning ,and walking towards me is a guy whose chin was literally over my head ! I am 6’5” that truly doesn’t happen to me ,possibly once or twice in my life around here ,usually university kids .Guy plays pro basketball (we have a team Sudbury 5 ) ,he is 7’1” ,I ask what he drives and he says 4 of them share a team car ,a Hyundai ! Of course I laughed because if I am in a Hyundai nobody can sit behind me ,I can’t imagine 4 in one at a time .Anyways ,nice fellow ,and I gladly pass the torch of having grannies tap me on the arm in the grocery store to get something off the top shelf . He gave me tickets to their home opener on the 28th .
Kind of made my day ! |

Turns out the kid is from California ,played for Cal Tech ,last name Whitset .Long way from home in winter for a California kid .Cant imagine what -45 or a two foot dumping of snow will do to him ,but good on him for giving it a go . I should have him over for Christmas dinner to see if I can get rid of my 6’ daughter I am sick of seeing in my house every damned day .lol .

That's awesome Bruces!
Our little town of Volcano has a basketball player over 7' but he's not around much. His dad (6'6") drops in every so often for a cold beer. His son James played college ball but has had a rough time with the pro's. Super-tall guys injure easily. Leverage, I guess? He's off somewhere playing a different league for rehab and training. Canada maybe??? Hoping to get back in the pro's before the window of opportunity closes.

Sorry to hear about your perception of being vertically challenged. Recommend you hang out with really short people for a while. Oh, and of course the universal antidote: chocolate.
