The title has nothing to do with my post but I do have small ankles. In fact, I have small joints like my mother. Overall, it is okay because it makes my muscles look bigger. The only downside is that it seems that I have to continue strengthening the muscles around my joints because they do not handle my weight as well I think they should.
To the left is a picture of me, from Halloween this year.
Some people thought I was Bagger Vance. While I think it is a compliment to be compared to Will Smith, I was not Bagger Vance. When I conceived of the costume, one of my sore spots was that I might be mistaken for a Black caddie but I got over it. Originally, I was going for a 1920's or 1930's paperboy. Some people got it. Otherwise, I was just a black guy from the 1920's or 1930's. In some ways, with the reading glasses, I was going for my inner old timer.
Some people just inquired about my costume and others seemed to be really concerned that I was not scary or I was not very defined. I have never been scary for Halloween. I do not do scary for Halloween. Just like roller coasters and horror movies, life is scary enough without introducing artificial terror. Over the years, I have gone as superheroes, knights, kings, and cowboys. I like historic period costumes.
