GAH!
Yesterday had to be one of the the worst days of my life. My good friend at work began joking that I was losing my hair a little in the back. Now, he has been saying this for years and I kept telling him that's how I comb my hair. There's this one spot that seems bald, but is just the central point from which all my hairs are combed. Kinda like the way the Vatican is laid out with this spot being St. Peter's cathedral (is that a sacrilegious analogy?). He came back with an unusual response: "That's a good line ... you should keep sticking to it" While waiting to be seated at lunch, the conversation came up again. My other co-workers were wondering what we were talking about. I showed them and I heard "Oh ... yeah". Hmm ... this isn't getting funny anymore.
Then, while having dinner with my wife, I mentioned the conversation to her. You want to know what she said? "Yeah ... I kinda noticed that a while ago, but I didn't want to say anything."
WHAT?!?!?!?!?! YOU NOTICED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Actually, she had a good reason for not telling me. I have been very adamant for some time now that if I were to ever start losing my hair, I was going to shave it. Not down to the skin, but very short so my head looks like a peach. My reason was that I didn't want to be that guy who grew his 1 hair to 8 feet long so he can wrap it around the top of his head. I also didn't want to be that guy who spends 10 minutes getting those 3 strands of hair to lay just right across the top of my head. Debbie was afraid this would be my first act once she told me about this travesty and she didn't want to be married to a giant peach-head.
Well, we got back from dinner and I had to go look in the mirror. GAH! I AM LOSING MY HAIR!!! *sigh* better invest in some rogaine.

Thank you for not mentioning my name when it came to the guy standing in front of the mirror for 10 minutes.
Dad
I'm glad you realize I didn't keep this bit of information from you on purpose. I was in a conundrum. How was I to break this bit of information on thinning hair to you gently when you've mentioned shaving your head for years if it began happening? Although, I must say I had no idea you were talking about a peach fuzz haircut. I seriously thought it would be to the skin. That I just can't imagine! I am sorry, though, that it didn't come from me first. It should have...
Hey Ed - Be thankful your's lasted this long! I can't wait to see you with that peach fuzz cut, that should be good. Just imagine, you'll have a head like mine. HEHEHEHE
