    There is a favorite line from my novella Dinner Party For Eight in which Angela asks Harry:“What do you think I am?”Harry considered this for a moment. What was she actually?“Well I suppose you are a very beautiful cook.”So if I have to answer the same question what am I actually? I would also need to consider this for a moment. I would like to say I’m an ex astronaut, have more degrees than a thermometer, have competed in the Tour de France without any EPO, surfed Teahupoo in Tahiti and emerged unscathed, sailed round the world, am an ace Alpine skier, am a member of Mensa, have a beauty queen wife and gorgeous kids, and started my own corporation which has listed on NASDAQ. I could go on but like Arnold Schwarzenegger I don’t want to boast.Well to be honest, I have gone some of the way towards all those things. I do have a letter from Wernher von Braun, I do have three degrees in Physics, I have flown in a jet plane (Emirates Air), I do cycle the mega steep hills here where I live but unfortunately can’t get EPO anywhere, I am a keen surfer who has almost managed to break his neck, I am an ocean going skipper and I did own my own yacht though if it was me I wouldn’t sail with me as captain, I do ski but you need to get out of the way, I do have a beautiful wife (though her agreeing to marry me has to be my biggest piece of luck ever) and two great kids, I do have my own software business but no stock exchanges alas and I would like to take the Mensa test but I’m pretty sure I would fail and then I wouldn’t be able to live with that so I would rather rationalize. I live in that sapphire city – Cape Town.

      Yes. That is a good question, and one I’ve been meaning to try and answer for some time.

      I watch a lot of movies and every now and then something gives away the real height of an actor or actress. Maybe they are leaning up against a car and I can see their height in relation to the top of the car roof. The other night I was watching a rerun of Indecent Proposal and Demi Moore was standing against a lamp shade. Now all tables are a standard height more or less. So I froze the picture and put my hand the same distance above the lamp as her head was in the picture.. Man, that’s small. I looked up her height on Google and it came out as 5 foot 5 inches. Read 5 foot 4 inches because all these web sites lie. And you know what, she’s probably wearing shoe lifters.

      It’s not just Demi of course. It’s just that about every actor is a short ass. Sure, there are exceptions, Clint Eastwood is tall and so was John Wayne.

      But today that’s the exception. Movieland is dominated
