Announcing the Hall of Baldness

This morning in the shower I finally decided that my hair had to go. It was just getting all over everything and I could have kept pulling it out all day if I had had the time. So, Brittney graciously helped out by shaving my head (my couple-week beard also got removed in the confusion). The kids watched and seemed to enjoy it. My reaction: I don't look as different/weird as I thought I would, but man, it is a pretty strange look for me. Also, my eyebrows are so much more accentuated when they are the only hairy thing on my face. I suppose I will get used to it in time.

Once I was done Gwen almost was hesitant to come up to me. I held her for a moment and then she gave me a big kiss and hug. I was most worried about how she would take to my new looks, and am glad that she still knows I am her daddy.

The biggest difference to me is how cold my head is without my hair. I really need to invest in a good warm hat for the future.

Without further ado, I will take this opportunity to announce the long-awaited, much-anticipated "Hall of Baldness"! If any of you have ever wanted a good reason to shave your head or get a short haircut, even donating to Locks of Love if your hair is long enough for that, now is your chance! We thought it might be a fun way to feel connected with those of you out there with whom we can't share our every days as we would like. So, to enter the "Hall of Baldness":

1. Get your hair cut/shaved and

2. Send me before/after pictures of the transformation.

I will post any pictures I get on this blog in a new "Hall of Baldness" feature, for all to see. No pressure, of course, but we thought this could be fun.
