June 6: I went with Nadine to her doctors appointment. Since we were a little late, I parked the car while she went into the office building ahead of me.
When I got to the lobby, I was asking the elevator attendant (another story there) which floor the doctor was on. Turns out, there were two possibilities and he helped me figure out that I wanted the 2nd floor.
He called for an elevator to the 2nd floor (part of that other story). As I was waiting I saw from the corner of my eye a Very Large Person who had just come up and was waiting also.
The elevator door opened. I got on first, then the Very Large Person.
I finally got a close look at him. He was Very Tall, Very Large and somehow familiar. So, I blurted out: "You look familiar?"
He said one word, but with a smile on his face: "Shaq".
His presence was incredible. The top of my head was about at the level of his shoulder. So large and so tall. Hard to imagine someone being this big. Unbelievable, except I experienced it.
Finally I said exactly what I felt: "You're much larger in real life than on TV."
Just then, mercifully, probably for both of us, the elevator door opened and I got off at the 2nd floor.
