Dang boy... your really losing your hair aren'tcha?
Other family members have lovingly begun to reference this look as my "bridge over troubled waters".
It's not like I haven't expected this day to come... I mean look at the gene pool I'm drawing from...
Its just that I so want to have a beautiful mane of hair much like that of my infamously handsome cousin Mack Strate... all shiny, wavy, and thick...
Lets take a stroll down memory lane:
Me in 2000 - Just out of college, two kids - new job - not bad eh?
Me in 2004 - Another new job, three kids, lots more travel, and after a move to Chicago... Ya, I guess its starting to thin a bit... but still, not bad right?
Me in 2007 - all three kids in school, yet another move and another new job, just a few months shy of officially using the "mid thirties" moniker to describe myself...
Oh yeah, we've officially arrived!
The question is... where do I go from here?
Shave it?
Rogaine it?
Plugs or implants?
Decisions, Decisions...
I guess I'll take your votes and input on the subject, then do whatever the heck I want...
Just know - that the next time I see you - If I do have a lovely mane of hair again... the operation was a HUGE success, and I'd appreciate ya'll just keeping things to yourself...
K? Thanks!

I vote for the shave! It is so liberating! Once you shave you will never want to go back to packing a comb! Sorry about the gene pool if it bothers you! Your unsympathetic dad.
Thanks Pops!
And for the record: I'm very proud of my gene pool! I'd give up the hair (and it looks like I might have to) any day to get everything else you've passed down to me... Love ya!
Joe
Glad I don't have to make the decision. Your handsome either way!
JUST EMBRACE IT ALREADY!!!!! :)
Wow, I've always been proud of my hair, but in that closeup photo you posted it looks incredible! So thick, so luscious...I'm running my hands through it right now.
But I confess beautiful hair is a tremendous burden. The dryers, the gels, herbal shampoos, stylists...it's all a strain on my resources and time.
And I think that post-shave Ryan looks pretty distinguished.
(If by distinguised you mean: someone who looks like they could beat the tar out of you.)
