Tall order

It's not like I'm bragging or anything, but I might be taller than Boston's Zdeno Chara, who, once you add an extra 3 inches of skates to his 6-foot-9 frame, plays at 7 feet tall.

I noticed that last night watching warm-ups from the corner boards. I stood at least 3 inches taller than the Bruins captain. Really.

Chara was on the ice, down at ground level, while I was in the second row. Granted, there was at least 1 foot of elevation. I suppose that helped, eh?

Before Saturday's morning skate, Chara was gracious enough to sign a wallpaper image (how easily can you find his signature, though?), above, and the Slovakian team jersey.
