My good friend of some 40 years, Steve Torbeck, and I used to argue over which one of us was taller. (Actually I think it was a tie but don't tell him I said that.) But my last visit to a doctor's office(*) the nurse measured me and said I was 6 foot 1. Uh-oh. I've reached that age where I've started shrinking. Well, at least in height. I weigh considerably more now than my high school fighting weight.
But I didn't realize how much I had shrunk until I ran into this guy on the Courthouse Plaza in Prescott last weekend.
(*) - One of my recent sayings is about all the doctor visits SWMBO and I make: "If we didn't have all these doctor visits, we'd have no social life at all!"
My height story is exactly the same. My weight story, well, I like to say I am twice the man I use to be.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Phil.

ReplyDeleteAnother "good one". Thanks, Steve.
DeleteI am definitely stockier than I used to be.
ReplyDeleteWe all are, Joeh!
DeleteI avoid the weight question altogether, and just say "I couldn't be happier if I were twins".
ReplyDeleteAs for those super tall guys - why do they always have such tiny feet? *wink*
That guy must be part giraffe. I hope you're enjoying that Hawaiian shirt as much as I am.
ReplyDeleteYou look like Joe Cocker in your new picture. A younger Joe Cocker, that is.
ReplyDeleteI was half an inch shorter the last time I was measured - what the heck! In no time at all I'll just be totally square :)
