Cara and I attended a 50th birthday party last weekend. The theme was the “senior prom”. A professional photographer took prom pictures of middle-aged couples decked out in formal attire. Cara, having not attended her prom, was especially tickled. She re-engineered a long black dress into an elegant gown, put on some make-up and high heels, and looked stunning. I put on my tuxedo for the first time in three years and became puzzled and finally disturbed.
I'm 5'5-3/4" tall - although perhaps I should say I'm 5'5-3/4" short. So I hate you. That party theme was a great idea, although if Ellen and I attended one she'd probably try her best to make it more authentic and dump me after the prom. ;)
At my last doctor's visit an insensitive nurse insisted I was 1/4 inch shorter now than before. However, I think you mixed up the recent popes. It was retired Pope Benedict XVI who wore the red shoes. Francis doesn't. Francis is a Jesuit and I can not imagine the Jesuits tolerating a member of the order acting out of vanity to insert lifts in his shoes.

… another great piece. And I feel your pain, Dan. I’m 3 inches taller.
