[at-l] Re: height changes...

[dlc <dlc@nrtw.org>]

I can't tell you why, but I can absolutely relate, as I have had the same 
problem.  I reached 6'1" at 15 and when this didn't change for a while, I 
assumed that was it.  Somewhere around my sophomore or junior year in 
college (six years later), someone decided I HAD to be taller than 
that.  They measured, and sure enough, I'm 6'2".  Go figure.  I'm happy to 
say this phenomenon has NOT reoccurred in the years since then.  Still 
6'2.  :)  Which is a relief; I don't mind being tall, but I'm afraid of how 
tall I would end up if that kind of thing kept happening.  :)
