99cm tall

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.03.30

I noticed Kenny standing next to the little couch-side laptop table we use. It struck me that he's grown tall.

So I had him stand next to the kitchen door frame, and measured him there. He's now 99 centimeters tall. He's grown some three centimeters in the past three months. Please, Ken, continue to grow but don't become as tall as your chronically stiff and sore father. Sore neck from getting around in a small species' world, shoes too large for .. everything, and legs riddled with varicosities from being tucked under desks. Stay under 190cm!
