State du Moi

I'm sure my father was constantly frustrated about what was to become of me.  My personal favorite moment was when he asked what I wanted to do with my life, and I earnestly told him I wanted to play in the NBA.  And that was WHEN I WAS IN THE NINTH GRADE!!!  The horrified look of disappointment on his face was an all-timer. - XMASTIME

Three times in the last two weeks people have remarked that I've gotten taller.  Meanwhile, I spent a large amount of yesterday marveling that suddenly, my hands look huge.  Wtf - am I still growing?  Are my NBA dreams finally about to come true?!?!!?!?!
