Dear Readers,
As all of you know—likely because you have run into me, literally, while walking past me on a sidewalk and then stared up at me from your phone dazed, as if your body colliding with mine was something that just couldn’t have been avoided—I am a very large fella. In fact, if I am being honest with myself, then I am also forced to acknowledge that my size is probably my defining characteristic. And I am usually alright with that. After all, there are perks that come with uncommon size. I can always see at concerts. People instinctively give me the front seat in ubers. On occasion kids ask me if I play in the NFL or NBA, and sometimes I lie and say yes, just so they can feel cool telling their friends they saw a pro athlete buying an ungodly amount of $5 footlongs at their local Subway and not because saying no makes feel undeniably sad.
