MONDAY DIARY: ALMOST EXCRUCIATINGLY TRUE STORIES: THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY SEEM TO CHANGE.

I was always tall.  That meant whenever pictures were taken, I was always in the back row.  I really wasn't all THAT tall, for example I was not considered an asset of tallness on the basketball court, but for mundane stuff, I was always the tall one and it felt like I stuck out in the crowd

It worked out sometimes.  If your pants were too short or your forgot dark socks, it didn't matter, you are in the back row and nobody cared.

Still, not being THAT tall, I am still just tall enough to be annoying and expensive.  Clerics are already outrageously expensive.  But if you are tall, you wish you only had to pay the expensive price instead of the extra charge for being more closely related to primates in body stature.  And even if you do find something for tall, they also assume that you are BIG and so your shirts look like you are wearing a parachute.

Now that I am older, it seems most people have caught up to me tallness wise for the most part.  But of course, I no longer seem to have group pictures taken with people of my age.

Congratulations to our First Communion Class who celebrated their very first Communion this past Saturday!  God bless!
