So Saturday concert was pretty fun. The venue was a small club and I had reserved a table for myself. (The sweetie-wife does not care for most of my music and that include Sheena Easton.) I got there early enough to order a small diner before the show, and ended up chatting with the lady at the table next to mine. (She recognized me from thr Vegas show I went to last September.)
Sheena came one and this time I had a very good appraisal of just how tall, or rather how short that lady is. My friends Sheena Easton is a hobbit. However she looked good, in fact she looked better than she did in Vegas, so either I caught her on a bad night, bad lighting, or my eyes were out of whack. This time I was nearly level with her and maybe 15 feet away at most. The set was mostly her big hits, but she mixed it up a bit and added a few songs from lesser known albums.
Afterwards I headed hom and enjoyed a nice desert of donuts since it was a night of my diet.
Sunday was a relaxing day with board and card games in the evening and yesterday my sweetie-wife and I went to the zoo, but sadly no crane chicks yet. (I think when the cranes chicks hatch one should be name Charles Foster Crane.)
Yesterday I even got another chapter of Love & Loyalty edited and tonight I expect I might get two more done. I am now hurtling towards the end of first-pass edits. After that is system integration as I shove the new bits into their places in the script, then a read through to make she integration went smoothly, then a copyedit pass by my sweetie-wofe and then finally beta-readers.
Here is my reference:

Obviously, the one inch was rounded up from one-half. Let’s assume for sake of argument that she is padding her height by even as much as four inches. That still puts her eight inches ABOVE maximum Hobbit height. You have no leg to stand on.
5’1″? I find that hard to accept. She is tiny. Even in heels she was tiny. I work with a bunch of tiny asian women, some of whom don’t break 5 feet. That the kind of tiny she looked like to me.
Sheena Easton’s height = 5′ 1″
Official height of hobbits (Average) = 3′ 6″
(Range 2′-4′)
Q. E. D.
Sheena Easton is not a hobbit. She is significantly taller than a hobbit. You lack perspective due to the “giant” and “troll” genes that run in you family.
