A Really Tall Tree

While in Phoenix I took in the ASU vs USC game where Jordan Bachinsky (13) had 19 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist. I've known him since he could reach my shoulder. He fills up a space and don't you even dare try to score on his net. His shoes look like snowshoes. Jordan has tall siblings, tall parents, a tall spouse. A forest of tallness. When I tutored him one spring for his English diploma, I discovered too a very keen mind that could think on several vectors. Going to a USA college ball game was one of the highlights of my holiday. Standing by a tree deceives me into thinking I'm petite. But it is a good lesson where to stand when they take pictures.
