Today’s theme: “Hair”
I’m beginning to equate the remaining hairs on my head to the heroic defenders at the Alamo. The odds are daunting. Desertion is always an option. But I intend to do everything I can to motivate the steadfast remainders to hang in there. How? I’m growing what hairs I have left way, way out. I’m letting them party. I’ve decided my hair should have a personality. I’ll likely blog about this in a week or so. So for today the theme is …
Hair … It’s what’s on my mind (or in the near enough vacinity)
