It's very weird standing next to somebody who smells so much like
yourself that you think it's your own deodorant that failed. It's even
odder catching myself expressing relief that I know at least two reasons
I don't have to worry about my wife's ever mistaking him for me.

I didn't say she wouldn't be able to mistake us, just that I didn't have
to worry about it. And I can't imagine that two people noticeably
different in skin color could smell so similar, though Kevins might know
more about that. But, actually, yes, he's short. Also somewhat balding.

I've seen a picture of you, but I couldn't tell whether you had a
tonsure.
