I added a fun little referral plug-in to the journal. I 1st saw this particular plug-in at Pure Mood’s place and thought to myself "wow, I want one of those!" [Her site is much cleaner than mine, I'm thinking I need to do some clean-up work on mine and move things around]. Anyway, if you scroll down to the right of the sidebar you’ll see it. Pretty neato!

I’m getting ready to head to the gym again…and then I’m going to drive to Vegas tonight. I think Vegas will help my toe heal

I know I look rather frumpy in this picture but I guess I am.  It’s one of those pictures where I can hear my mother’s voice saying "Robert! sit up straight!" …I know I tend to slouch but I think I’ve figured out why.

You see, It all goes back to School Days and being one of the shortest kids in my class. I didn’t really start growing until my 12th grade year….so I have a shorter person’s mentality if that makes sense. In my head, I still think of myself as the skinny little guy rather than the 6′2 man I’ve become. [How the hell did that happen?]. Perhaps this is why I’m always slouching over?

Playing hockey a few games ago, I remember hearing a guy on the other team say during the game "I’ll cover the big guy" and it dawned on me that he was talking about ME. It just made me stop and think. No complaints…just thoughts here.

Another observation is that when people meet me who have only seen photos or videos of me, they usually say something like "Hey, you’re much taller in person"… and of course that goes the other way around with actors and people you see on TV. I once saw Dustin Hoffman crossing the street and thought "WOW, he’s very short". I’m willing to bet his mother never had to tell him to stand up straight.

Tall, Short…none of that really matters on any level. I guess the main thing is, if you need me to reach and grab something from the high shelf…just ask, I’m your man. I’m good for that. :)
