It is almost here...

It is almost here, the day I will join the ranks with all my bald brothers and sisters. Finally!! I have been growing my hair out for the last two plus months. I look like a "hippie." Well, not a "hippie" from the sixties, my hair does not grow that fast, but it is out of control. My hair likes to stand up and not obey the commands of the brush and gel. I try to tame it with a hat, but all I get is STANDING hat hair. I am thankful for my full head of hair though, so I will quit complaining.

On Thursday, March 19th, I will be shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's foundation along with a large number of my co-workers and friends. I believe there are about 33 of us on our team. We are shaving our heads to help combat childrens cancer. Not everybody is on our site, but a majority of us can be found on it.

The picture of me (on the site) was taken in January. As you can see my hair was standing at "attention." You may think I stuck my finger in a light socket, but this what my hair does naturally.

Here are a couple of pictures of me as of today. The first picture is what my hair looks like after I get out the shower. The second picture is what my hair looks like after a long process of fighting it for control. As you can see, a losing battle.








Enjoy for now!! Later...T

I'm super thrilled that you are doing this and that we are able to support you. It was difficult working at Childrens Hospital this quarter and see all the sick children. I'm excited to see your shaved head!!
Love,

Tom,
I love your hair a little longer!!! Darn handsome is the truth!!!

After you shave it I think you should let it grow again. You could start training it from scratch.

Fred & I are sooooo proud of you!!! Love Mom XOXOX
