at 6’8” — I doubt you’d fit in most places :) Though I do wish I was 7 inches taller. Being your height has it’s advantages too!

Being tall does have its advantages but it's also got its drawbacks. Most things are more expensive, from air fare to clothing. My skull is full of spider cracks from doorways, basement stairwells, overhead bins on airplanes and other objects that are not a problem for others. I don't fit in the average hotel bed so that takes the fun out of traveling. I can't go to a movie unless I want to sit in the front row which I don't so I just don't go to the movies. Concerts are no fun either because front row seating is seldom accessible and I don't like blocking the view(s) of others. Cars aren't made for tall people though I do fit nicely in my Chevy Tahoe. I can fit in the wife's Audi with the sun roof open and I've customized my truck, Jeep and boat or I could never fit in them.

Being tall has its advantages too. Number 1 on the list is it was the thing that first caused Mrs. 40 to be attracted to me. Most others I believe are fairly obvious.
