Tanizaki, just wanted to tell you that the sly look definitely suits you bro. You look much younger and it seems like you're loving it as well. Your dad will come around.
Yeah, it turned out it was a misunderstanding on my part. As soon as he heard from Mom about it, he came over and cleared it up. It was all in my head.
As for my head, Mrs. Tani had said while she thought shaved suited me, she missed my hair, so I started growing it back. Last night, I told her that I felt more confident with the dome, but would keep growing it back to the old way if she really preferred it. She said my feelings were more important, so I clipped it back down to a no-guard. Once I get some tan on the stubbled scalp, I will probably shave it down again.
I'm an alpha male, but I involved my wife because I think it is wrong to willingly become unattractive to your spouse. That's why I cut the fat from over 250 lbs to 170 lbs. Sometimes Mrs. Tani will say, "You look great now, but sometimes I miss my teddy bear." She changes her mind pretty quickly as soon as I say, "In that case, I'll go out and get some double-doubles from Checkers"

And this morning (169 lbs):
