A common diversion among some friends of mine is to offer unsolicited opinions over whether the time has come for me to end my scalp's recession and just start shaving my head. A friend who had been identified with the idea of my not just shaving my head but using laser hair removal to do it recently sent me this photo that she had taken of me. She said the photo provided a good idea of what I would look like with a shaved head and, on the basis of it, she had changed her mind and I shouldn't do it. Which was good of her to express her opinion, although it's not like shaving my head was an alternative or fall back option, but rather something I am presuming I'll feel compelled toward sooner or later, albeit preferably later.
All this just reinforces the idea that what I should really do is disappear for a year and come back with a giant thick curly head of hair and a plummy British accent. You think I'm joking.

I like today's typo. Definitely start "saving your head."

Cruella: Thanks, typo fixed.
Grow face hair!!
I recommend an Andy Warhol type wig: plainly, but fabulously fake. It's the new thing!
So I guess we know how your friends feel. But how do you? Does it bother you?
But then the cool drawing of you in the upper left corner of your blog would be obsolete. I vote no; let nature have its way with you.
My conclusion: you look good. Your friends are mean.
It looks to me like you still have the vast majority of your hair--say, 95% or more? My unsolicited opinion is that shaving would be entirely premature. The t-shirt photo shows your existing hair as having a delightfully jaunty quality that would go well with a plummy British accent--no need for a thick, curly mop. Cheerio!
