just NW from Chicago
« on: April 11, 2007, 05:44:50 PM »
Another guy from Illinois here.  Andre Agassi and I have a few things in common.  We are both about the same age...had the same exact haircut/hairline when we were 17 and have the same exact hairline now.

I've gotten away with a high and tight since '98.  My wife has insisted that I do not shave my head totally and when she found out my plans she attempted to threaten me by doing the same with her hair.  I was like, cool...do it!!!

I'm very fortunate to be good friends with BaldRob and got to see him for the first time, in over 4 years, this past Winter.  I had no idea what he was talking about when he told me it was time for a HEADBLADE.  Unfortunatley, while I was growing my best goatee ever, while on leave from the Navy during that time...I didn't shave my head. Would have made for some good pics...but I always have a cap on.

Not looking forward to waiting for retirement(3.5 years) until I can bring back the facial hair!!!

Welcome Kalbo, it's great to have you on board.  You got a good friend there with BR, one standup guy, and you'll be in good company here as well.

Welcome, there are quite a few IL guys here.  Maybe we need an SBG gathering this summer.
