The majority of my friends these days, especially now that I've moved on from the world of basketball, fit nicely under my arm. So I was pretty excited to see the following blog post on The Times blog Well. The author is a 6-foot-4 University of Wisconsin senior.

I will say though, that tall or short, no one should have the fact that they are different from the "average" pointed out to them. My brother, who is 6-foot-5, hates it when strangers come up to him and inform him that he's tall. This happens regularly, and I can't blame him for being annoyed. No one would ever walk up to a stranger and tell them "You're short!" or "Woh, you're a big lady."
