1.31

[I must admit that I kind of fell behind this month. Oh, well. I'll be here, still.]

She lifted her head to look at him. She loved that; she had to look up to see into his eyes. There was no reason, really, why she liked his height, but it made him seem more secure, more masculine, and more dependable. Her ex was five feet and two inches tall. The boy before that was five feet six. Before that was five feet four, but he always told everyone five seven, just in case.
Five feet four (seven) was addicted to marijuana, five feet six was a car thief, and five feet two was an unrepentant pornographer.

Hopefully, six feet four would be an upstanding gentleman.

  1. Tall is good, yes. :-)

    Character has little to do with height, though, even though we describe it that way.

    Aslo: watching a 6'4" man teach kindergarteners basketball is one of the most entertaining things I have ever done.
