I hung out with a couple of friends today and they were very supportive and one , who happened to be sly, even asked, "what took you so long?" I am extremely grateful to all of you for your support. As for Nick, although I am a HAPPILY married man, it was definitely an ego boost when a nice looking woman tried to pick me up while I was jogging at the beach.
The biggest benefit, is the total freedom it gives you. Before, I was always afraid of doing things with my kids, like going on rides, or swimming, or roughhousing, getting caught in the wind or a blast of air, or a rainstorm. My life seemed to revolve around and even be controlled by my need to preserve my "secret". Now, I can do ANYTHING I WANT, and never have to worry about it. I can walk in the middle of a storm and not be worried about what is going to happen to my hair, and my kids can crawl all over my head while we are roughhousing without me having the slightest amount of panic. I can go on amusement park rides, drive my new convertible, drive a motorcycle, anything. I have never felt so free and alive, and have done things that I hadnt done in twenty years or more because of my hair. Shaving every morning is a small price to pay for this wonderful freedom, and I will never go back.
I'll be returning to work from vacation in a couple of weeks and I must admit that that still terrifies me. I'm working to get over it and I have for the most part, but the whole going back to work thing is still on my mind. Thanks for the support guys!!

Just send an email to work titled "The New Me", and attach a photo of yourself saying that you are having a great time and decided to try something different. All the hard work will be done, and no one will be shocked when you walk in. I'm sure there will be a few jokes, but I'll bet there will be more compliments than anything. Funny thing about when I did mine, was that nobody recognized me. I walked into work wearing sunglasses, and they didnt know who I was until I spoke - lol. I've told everyone that if I had known that no one would recognize me, I would have robbed a bank before shaving - lol.
