Zero score and thirteen nights ago, having grown weary of the process of balding in slow motion, I took up arms against my scalp with a safety razor and accelerated things along. Having had two weeks to live with my newly shorn self, I’m still not sure what to make of it (him). In the main, I’m happy my head is a reasonably ovoid and normal shape. In the main, I’m cold a lot. (It’s no joke about heat escaping from your dome.) In the main, I’m still sneaking up on myself in mirrors, surprised at what I find there. P.S. Someday I’ll learn to have my picture taken without pulling “serious face.”
