Advantages to shrinking...

The last time I visited the doctor's office, I discovered that I'm no longer 6'10” tall. Instead, I must be content with 5'9”. That's right, I'm shrinking, as I was told I would. Right off the bat, I can think of two benefits of being shorter: 

1. Air travel may become a tad more comfortable.
2. I be under the (right) impression that the snow is deeper, next time I ski deep powder! 

If you see additional benefits to growing shorter, please, let me know!
