Don't Panic, But I Have a Bald Spot

Just thought you should know that my wife found a bald spot on the top of my head.

Bruce's Bald Spot

Sunday morning, before church, she was giving me a haircut (3/4″ on top and 1/2″ on the sides; Wahl clippers—best investment ever), and she noticed a dime-sized spot that is missing hair. It’s slightly off-center, toward the back and right of my head (in case you’re inclined to look).

I’m not panicking because (1) I don’t “really” care and (2) I’m guessing that it has been there for quite some time but has gone unnoticed.

If I have any real reason to be concerned, it’s that I might actually be an adult. I’ve been trying to come to grips with that for several years, but it’s not sinking in completely. This may be the wake-up call. Of course, if a job, marriage, and kids haven’t been able to convince me, a little follicular sparsity may not phase me either.
