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 ! |
Haha! That's awesome. :tup:

Great Christmas gift!!!!

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.
