Hey There,
I take a brief break from Rex's Story to say that my life gets very weird sometimes. Now, age has not been kind to me in the hair on my head department. Ok I'm pretty bald...and for some reason, since my hospitalization two years ago, my hair grows in very unevenly. Not sure why...anyway. I still have some hair and I'm not eager for that hair to leave me just yet.
So...my brother and his family have gone to the same barber for many years now. He is about 80 years old and also a friend of my fathers. Now since I moved to Green Bay, he has been coming out to my house to cut my hair since there is no wheelchair access to his shop. Now he is a friend of the family so I overlook when he calls me by my brothers name and I even overlook it when he asks "Who is heavier, you or your brother? But today he did it..He started buzzing my hair, he always uses an attachment so it's not too short. He started buzzing and I felt metal against my skin...I asked "Are you using the attachment" to which he responded "NO..I didn't bring it..Oh well...Too late!" OMG!!!! "OH WELL, TOO LATE!!! I now know how Humpty Dumpty felt..I am as BALD as a baby. Kojack had more hair then me! I could play Mr Potato Head in the next TOY STORY. Ok, i know it will grow back, but right now I want to cover every mirror and freak out.
Btw has anyone ever had a burger from Five Guys, If so, was it any good? They are opening one here. Ok I'm calmer now.

Well, a pessimist would say you're bald. I would say you're just a little too tall for your hair. Time will heal all haircuts.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed reading your blogs. You write very well. Also I see that you enjoyed Spring Awakening. We saw it just recently in Florida and also enjoyed it. A lot of people, I noticed, did not return after the intermission. I dont know why. I expected a lot more shocking things to happen. To me it was very tame.
ReplyDeleteOk.. I don't really know you well enough to comment, but I married I bald guy, his won't grow back and he looks great! Your sounding like my brother's partner Garry, you've dealt with much worst, this too will pass.
ReplyDeleteBy the way... I love your blog! I look forward to every installment. Your story on Rex was heartfelt. I too lost someone to AIDS in the 80's.
I started reading your blog last week and read it straight through like a book. All I can say is I really wish I knew you better! If you still lived local I think we could be great friends, we have a lot of the same interests and opinions. I truly hope I didn't add to your discomfort in Jr. High and High School. I wasn't that popular myself but it really wasn't an issue for me. I'm more of a backround person, I feel more comfortable if people don't know me.
I really do have to ask one question though...you lived in wonderful New Jersey, steps from Broadway, gorgeous Florida sand and sun... why Green Bay?
