This post doesn’t really have a whole lot to do with being bald. Actually its the opposite. Curly haired pigs have been discovered. These pigs have been found in South America, Britain, Hungary, and Austria. Perhaps these animals could provide a new source for wigs. Have a look at some pictures that I found from […]
Ye gods… how did I get so far behind this month? Oh yeah… Crazy cool BBQ on top of a big project at the day job. Such is life. Anyway, let’s see if we can’t find a few quick hits to remind you I’m still here. Hmm…
How about this story about Woodville Elementary and their […]

Happy Birthday, Hannah Goldsberry! The young woman turned 16 recently, and on Friday she commemorated the occasion with a haircut… her first since the third grade! Hannah, whose hair was well past her waist, now sports a shoulder length cut.

Topeka Deputy Fire Chief Dave Sterbenz shaved his head after members of Firefighters Local 83 raised $1,600 for the Arthritis Foundation. This surpassed Sterbenz original challenge of $500. By my calculation that would work out to about $1 per hair on my head.

I’ll admit it: I’m a softy at heart, and I like stories like this one from the Naniamo News Bulletin.
And the winners are … Courtenay Crucil of Dover secondary and Jessa McGregor, of Nanaimo District secondary school.
Both graduating students were recognized with cash entrance awards from the Millennium Foundation this month for leadership and outstanding […]
Time for some encouragement. Read up on Michelle Juehring’s story from the Quad-City Times.
Hair is not as important as I thought it was. Doing what feels right for me is.
My baldness is my badge of courage. Look at me! I’m fighting cancer! Join me in the fight!
When I look in the mirror, I don’t see […]
Here’s a nice little piece to start the week off. The Union, out of Nevada County, California, is running an editorial by high school senior Lindsay Adams.
Lindsay was diagnosed with alopecia as a seventh-grader. Though her hair has returned as a result of favorable steroid treatments, she has chosen to title her senior project Creating […]
OK, let’s do a Monday Afternoon Warm Fuzzy, too. It is the Easter season, and that’s enough reason for me so celebrate acts of kindness and generosity… especially acts performed by kids. Here’s an article from the OC Register about Sami:
Seven-year-old Sami Kreeger bounced up and down in the oversized chair, smiling from ear to […]
