Good Saturday afternoon (PDT) to yourself now. Sunny here in sunny-again Southern California. Vitamin D activated!
These Southern California kids grow-up way-bigger than most. All that sunshine & fresh air year round, all that physical activity even during the winter. Surely if we had spent our childhood here in La-La Land, we might have made it to 5’9” or 5’10” even. But it was not in the cards, what with calling New Jersey home and having a mother who was not even five feet tall! That and a lot of Coca-Cola consumption before age 18, plus plenty of nicotine ingestion during residential secondary school, where the faculty & housemasters etc. never cared if you were smoking-up like Vesuvius even starting in your Second Form year.
