A LONG DRAUGHT


We tall people have to stick together. I learned the lesson the hard way when, towards the end of high school, I found that New York City subway doors had 6 feet, 2 inches (188 cm) clearance and I didn’t. 

Very hard to see at this resolution, but the tall woman has one white and one black sock. My granddaughter, Ellie, insists on wearing mismatched socks. When my son was her age, he would get two pairs of Converse high top sneakers in sharply contrasting colors and wear one from each pair (red and blue, green and yellow, etc.). The family went to France that summer and the Parisians gasped at his adventurous fashion.
