speaking of shiny...
I'd been thinking of doing it for while, then, the day after my birthday, I was with a group of friends and decided, "what the hey-ho, let's do this". So, with the help of many skilled friend/barbers, I shaved my head.
It's been fun to see people's reactions. Several friends have looked right at me and not recognized me. I've noticed a few other amusing consequences too.
- It's hard to put shirts on. They all get stuck on the stubble of my head.
- It is sensitive to the sun. I have to wear sunblock all the time. It turns pink after a few minutes in the sun.
- It's cold.
- I had just bought new bottles of shampoo and conditioner and now they're useless. (though I suppose in the long run, it will save me a lot of money)
- I can use it to reflect the sun into the eyes of drivers that cut me off while I'm driving my new car.

Oh my goodness, Neal! I don't know what to say! Mark just looked at your site and mentioned that your "haircut" makes you look skinny. :) I can't believe a GUY would say that.... so it must be true! I would invest in a hat for the winter!

Neal, in a manly "slap on the shoulder" sort of way, I think it looks good. Are you going to seminary or a monastery?
