Hair Today…Gone Tomorow

So, Tuesday began with my normal routine, part of which is my morning shower.  During the shower I noticed a good amount of hair quietly circling then disappearing down the drain.  When I was done, I got out, dried off and stared at myself in the mirror for a moment.  After a slow sigh, I rubbed my head vigorously, the amount of hair accumulating in the sink verified my time had come.  I’ve had an ever growing forehead since not long after college and in recent years the top has begun to thin.  I haven’t had a very good time adapting to this and have clutched my vanity tightly and dearly, but alas, man has hastened what nature had started.  I thought I was going to be ok with it, but at that moment… was not.  Not so much for the hair staring back from its toothpaste and shave gel stained grave but, more for the idea that this is the first visual manifestation of the poison I’ve been politely allowing a cute young nurse to put in my arm every other week.

Boy, that got kinda serious… That’s not why you guys came here, is it?  I bet you came here for the pictures!  Well, I won’t stand in your way.  Enjoy!
