It’s only a matter of time.  I’m losing my hair.  My temples have been receding for quite some time now and they’ve almost met, leaving a small patch of hair in front.  I have been anticipating this for quite some time and I’ve come to terms with it.  I’m actually looking forward to the day when I can take some shears and just cut every hair on my head to an eighth of an inch.  I have been slowly getting my hair cut closer and closer and now it’s about 3/4 of an inch.  The thing that bugs me is that every hair stylest I go to is eager to share how I can save my hair.  First, it was about special shampoos.  Then it was pharmaceuticals.  Today the man told me to only wash my hair twice a week.  I responded that I think genetics might play a bigger role than any shampoo.  I added, “besides, once it really goes, I’ll shave it close and I won’t have any need for you.”
 
He cut my hair in silence after that.
