Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

2.) Buying clothes at a store lacking "big and tall" in the name. This one was HUGE (literally) for me, when on a whim I went to Scheel's and needed a shirt (long story). So on a whim I tried on something off the rack.. and it fit! It became pretty novel to me for awhile
. Now while I'm still a large size, I can get still fit into clothes purchased without lots of X's in front of them. In fact, other big victory was when I tore a pair of pants on vacation. In a panic, stuck in Nowhere, Arkansas I went to the only store in town - Wal Mart. Same thing as Scheel's, walked out with a pair of pants!
Man, I can sure identify with BOTH of these
