So, what's the big deal about hair anyhow? Especially for men? I'm wrapping up about a two month period of pseudo baldness in support of a co-worker with breast cancer. The chemo killed off her flowing locks.
So 4 of us at the office shaved our heads in support...but I was the only guy. How hard is it to shave one's head? For me, no sweat...my barber even did the first shave for free! How cool is that?
But the other three shaving their heads...wow! For women a hairstyle kinda defines them. Making a change is a big deal. But shaving it off? Up until about two weeks ago, those awesome ladies wore scarves...then the scarves gave way to very short. The best was the one lady who got a leopard print "do." It rocks!
Know someone with breast cancer? Or just someone going through cancer treatments? Shave the head! They will appreciate your support and trust me, you'll feel GREAT!

Long-time no write...
Probably the title of a past post, but so be it.
Perhaps writing a bit will help me work through issues at work...
Interesting Navy day yesterday. Sat as the "Senior Member" of an Administrative Separation board. Seems a young service member "popped positive" on one of the regular random drug screenings.
At first blush, an open and shut case...but as is so often the case in life, things weren't necessarily as they all seemed. No one questioned the results or validity of the testing...but the board felt there was something missing in the story and that it wasn't really cut and dry.
After several hours of listening to the story, then another hour of deliberations, we felt there was a case to give the service member "a break." They will continue to serve and time will tell if this was a one-time bump or real evidence of a problem. We all see so many other "dirt bags" taking up our time and don't contribute that to see someone with a stellar record and contributes mightily with many people lining up in support that to toss them aside seemed wrong.
Have a fine Navy day!
