If I was 6'4.

If you follow my Twitter "spencerkraker" (which 142 of you do) then you'd know that my legs are aching like crazy today. I haven't felt this stretching pain since about 9th grade. Maybe I slept weird. Maybe its the stresses of coaching in big basketball games. Maybe I just have ingrown hairs all up and down my legs. Gross. I'd like to think that I actually am growing...even at the age 0f 21.

Whenever someone asks me how tall I am I respond with "Six feet in shoes". Who cares how tall I am when I'm not wearing shoes? Any activity where height becomes a factor requires shoes. So I consider myself part of the six foot club. This will give me a distinct advantage in any Six Foot And Under basketball leagues that I end up joining in the future. But that advantage may be quickly fading. Because I sincerely think that I am growing. I have been day dreaming of Spencer Kraker...the 6'4 version. Here are 5 things that would be great if I were 6'4.

5. I would get to buy all new clothes and shoes. Unless high-waters and belly shirts came into style.

4. It would open my relationship possibilities to hundreds of more girls. I will NEVER marry someone taller than me. 

4b. Also, I will never marry someone that is 6'4.

3. I could become an inspirational speaker to short people who want to grow. My slogan would be "Heighten Your Hope". Genius.

2. I could crack jokes that I was 5 foot 16.  To which there is always an awkward pause.

1. I would enroll at UW and tryout for the hoops team. I sincerely believe that I could make the team if I was 6'4.
