The Big Reveal


Now is that a fine looking head or what? Nice and round, no weird bumps, no horns. Not bad. I feel much better. I think it has to do with control, I couldn't take it when it was just falling out and looking all patchy. As soon as Pat put the clippers to my head, I knew I would be okay-er than I had been in a while. And I got a lot of good bald-headed love, included an e-mail from a woman I have known since I was a tiny kid, which included a tear-inducing photo of her bald self with a huge smile and Yellowstone in the background. It is all about life, this thing we are in. I forgot that in my worry about my hair. It's all about giving Bennett her five kisses so she doesn't get bad dreams, or kissing Pat on Ruth and Theo's lawn during the Mom and Aunt's Day BBQ they threw today. Or really believing that beauty is everywhere, even when we forgot to notice.
