There comes a time...

...in every bald person's life when he must come to grips with the fact that he no longer has hair.  At that time, he has a few choices, the most respectable of which is to get rid of what little hair he has remaining.  My story is no different and I finally took the plunge as seen below.  My only regret?  That I didn't do this a long, long time ago.

Top 10 reasons it's nice to have no hair:

10.  Saving approximately $1.74 each month on the hairspray I don't have to use.
9.  Wearing a hat without worrying about hat-hair.
8.  Waking up 5 minutes later in the morning since I no longer have to comb it.
7.  Applying sunscreen to my head is no longer quite so messy.
6.  No more worrying about what I look like after waking up in the hospital on call.
5.  Do-it-yourself haircuts.
4.  Driving in the car with the windows rolled down and not having to worry about that "windblown" look.
3.  Your kids (Emily, to be specific) say classic things like: "I like your new haircut Dad.  You know what's funny - it's like you don't look like my dad, but I know you are."
2.  Watching it grow back slowly is like being your own Chia pet.
1.  My wife still thinks I look cute (or at least she tells me that I do).
