BIG and TALL

I would like to take a moment and convey to all you "normal sized" people out there, that this is something you should not take for granted. 

Everyone tells me that they wish they were my size; oh the advantages.  The things they could reach.  The strength they would posses.  The time they would spend in the gym.

Not to complain but in a contrasting view there are indeed some disadvantages.  Bumping your head on things; movie theaters are interesting (thank God for the handicap seats); or being comfortable in any mode of transportation public or private.

Today's gripe is the result of coming up empty while searching for a new jacket.  Having been an above average size for many years now I am accustom to having to seek out the big and tall sections.  With normal sizes ending in XL one would think that the Big and Tall section would include something other than XXL.  One mall, two stores and an outlet center produced only one garment brandishing the 3X size.

I guess there is no choice but to shop on line and roll the dice when it comes to the perfect fit.

Extraction

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. As many of you may know I had to have my 3rd molars removed last Tuesday.  Although the process its self was painless the recovery is, of course, less than enjoyable.  The drugs have gone a long way at easing the pain but I am trying to wean myself off of them.  I go fo a follow-up next Tuesday to see how the sockets are healing.  I am hoping for no complications that would cause further recovery time.  Hopefully this mouth injury will be mostly behind me by the time March 1st rolls around.  For those of you who do not know I am going in for a surgery involving my urinary tract.  If my mouth is still in pain by then I may very well feel like the MIDDLE PIECE in the Human Centipede (where the healing pains are TWICE as intense).
