Phyllis, my observation is that hairy guys go bald the earliest. But hair is never lost -- it's a zero sum game thing. You're given what you're given and the amount remains constant. It just changes location. What formally grew without bidding in glistening waves on your head, gradually appears elsewhere, so that, whereas you once looked like a young Beach Boy, you begin to look more Dick Cheneyish. Once warm and comfortable, your head now feels cold a lot, and people think you're wearing a sweater, but it's July, and what they're looking at is coming from under your shirt, creeping out over the neck, hanging out the ends of the sleeves. You spend thirty bucks at a hair salon, deceiving youself, thinking that spending that much money means you have enough hair to style. But the session becomes an argument with the stylist over what to do with your sideburns and eyebrow hair -- the only stuff left she can shape. She's been cutting hair for all of six months and hasn't learned that eyebrows and sideburns are sacred territory for guys. At home in the mirror when the backlighting is right, you discover there are tendrils streaming like irrigated weeds from your ears, from the insides, the lobes, the rear along the ridges. The term 'razor back' passes through your mind and something like 'Sheesh!' escapes your lips. Ear hair! Why ear hair? You grab the tweasers and yank 'em, and three days later they're back ('We're ba-ack!'). The hardy little suckers would be good candidates for transplanting to the top, but they're ear hairs and would certainly return home a week after surgery. And this little discussion doesn't even cover greying. So why am I writing this? Oh yeah, wisdom and the perils of it. There's a difference between wisdom and stupidity and here it is: Wisdom is not combing what's left up over the top of your head because your wife will see it and say, 'You look really stupid.'
