Yep, that’s a child’s stool behind the lectern.
I was at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C. last Saturday afternoon. I did an event at the church with Politics and Prose bookstore, and I had to stand on the stool so that I could reach the microphone.
I’m short.
I’ve always been short.
And now that I’m 55, I might be getting shorter.
But can I say?
It was a wondrous thing to be in a chapel filled with so many passionate readers, filled with so much light.
It made me feel taller just being there.
But still, I needed the stool.
