Math’s Eagle Honor Court was very nice. The ceremony was great, and I had a great time after, talking with people. It’s always good to spend time with my grandmother, and to be honest, my family is a lot of fun, although they always make me feel rather boring in comparison. And I got to talk with Ben a bit more, which was nice, although I wish our visit could have been a little longer.

I also discovered that Math is definitely taller than me. By a lot. Which means that the only people I’m taller than now are Grandmom (who has lost height as she’s gotten older) and Liz (who is not yet 15). I’m pretty sure that I’m going to end up the shortest person in the family, which doesn’t seem quite fair.

Guess I got more than my fair share of my great-grandmother’s genes. Despite being the shortest person in my class throughout elementary school (and Jr High for that matter), I was taller than my great-grandmother by fourth grade.

So I get to look forward to always being the shortest person in a family of small giants. Oddly enough, my brother, clocking in a 6’5″, is the tallest in the group, which means that unless Liz has stopped growing, we would bookend the family if we were to line up by height.

The only bad part of the whole trip was spending an extended period of time in the car with my mother. Let’s just say that it’s amazing how things can regresss a decade or two when you’re not paying attention.
