I hear you Mike. I remember when I still had my hair, before I buzzed it, I would think I wasn't thinning that bad. All it would take would be some pic of the back of my head to see how balding it looked on the crown. And if the photo was taken with a flash, fuggedaboudit! It looked like I had a friar tuck thing going on on the back of my head!
Funny how bald spots become more defined on HDTV...as well as the shadow on shaved heads!
