    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I like being short. I feel compact, I can curl up with my feet on the seat in coach on an airplane, I don’t need that much food, I drive a small car that’s easy to park (and I can fit easily in the trunk). Sometimes I wish I had a longer reach and didn’t have to climb the shelves to get high up items at Whole Foods, or that it was easier to steal fruit off trees that are hanging over the sidewalk (if you live in Berkeley you know what I mean), but overall I’m happy with my height.Lately I’ve bee
