    Being tall and hairy has some interesting moments.

    like tiny old chinese women wanting to have a picture taken with you. This has happened twice in my life so far: first when I went to Beijing with my folks in '99, and most recently at the British museum last month.

    It may well have been the same person, for all I know.

    I have this happen to me all over Asia.

    What you do is smile and agree and have your photo taken.

    While they are getting ready for the photo bend your knees and slowly lower yourself.

    The Japanese are more used to foreigners, I think, because in my experience general the most you ever get is people trying to practice english on you.

    In Tokyo I encountered a convenience store clerk who spoke flawless, unaccented English. It more than a little surprising.

    Go outside of the cities in Japan, and you get odd treatment. Usually positive, but people sometimes want pictures with you. Especially if you go to a rural festival.

    I am one of the shortest of my friends at 6 feet.

    Even my little brother is taller.

    I'm 6'4", my brother is 6'4" and my dad is 6'8". I love visiting with them and just walking around. Everyone just kind of filters around us on the sidewalk.

    Just some general info: The numbers on the back are something we have in stock on a regular basis, but the names on the back and the logo on the front are custom, so they take longer to get. The company we get the heat transfers from has the letters in the font on-hand for the "SE++" that's going on the front, except they don't have a standard "+", as you would imagine they don't get much call for math symbols in a team name. So it ended up having to be a custom logo where I just typed "SE++" in photoshop using the font and made it nice and big so the resolution was fine for printing a heat transfer thingy.

    They will be in-house by the end of this week or the beginning of next and I believe once they are received, the warehouse starts putting them on the jerseys, depending on how many other orders requiring decoration on them are ahead of my order. So a finished product will probably be available next week and I plan to post a picture of me in my jersey once I have it. However, I am out of town for a conference next week so even if they are done next week, it'll be another week before I am able to get them.

    Oh, by the way, the "SE++"labels were in on Friday and I got to take a look at one before and after it was put on the jersey and they turned out pretty great. I am out of town all this week for a business trip, so they'll probably be ready when I get back to work on Tuesday. When I get them, I will do a final bit of research and testing of weights and volumes to see what the cheapest method of shipping will be.

    Geek, did the backordering thing ever sort itself out? I remember we all said we were fine with backordering, and then don't remember an update.

    The back ordered items are still the same status as mentioned on page 22. All the women's mediums won't be in until June and the first 8 men's XL who volunteered won't be in until July.

    The back order date is June 6. That's plenty enough time to get to you by then.
