going bald

There is only one thing worse than being bald... going bald!

Nah, there isn't much that bothers me about being bald. Well except for looking at old high school photos. But with that hair style, I probably deserved to go bald. And then there is the lack of options. Left part, right part, no part... well wait I still have that one.

First times seem to be informative and memorable, like the first time my head got sunburned. Informative, yes! Once I got past denial.
Then there was the time that someone took a picture from above and behind me. Informative, yes! Did you know that from the right angle a camera flash can make a person look bald.

I think it was hardest on my mother. She bought my first bottle of Rogaine. Of course she also bought my first jar of 'dippity doo'. Oh man! I really miss the doo. You know, dip your index and middle finger into the jar, scoop out a blob, even it out between your hands, then compress the sides of my head and hold... still holding. Then the curing process with the blow dryer. Oh man! I really miss the blow dryer, ooh and the brush to, that always felt so good on my scalp.

Dear Skye

We are anxiously awaiting postings for 2008. While I am not going bald I do see that my forehead is growing, If I could only shift my scalp forward...
