Let's try that again...



Jeff wanted me to write about the experience from my perspective. I don't really know what to say, but here goes....It looks like we're going to have an early winter this year. Large flakes are falling already and inside the house to boot!!

I'm really sorry Jeff's losing his hair, but to me it's not a big deal. Women don't care about hair loss as much as men think we do. However, I think now he's learned a valuable lesson--he needs to wear a hat or sunscreen.

I had to brush through Jeff's hair about five times today because it was itching and flaking so badly from the sunburn. Jeff's contemplating wearing a hat to church in an attempt to remedy the "situation." This could be real trouble if you pair it with a black suit.

I'm sorry if anyone thinks we're weird! Just having fun! I just informed Jeff that a few days ago I told our newfound cousins in Wales about our blog, and he got a worried look on his face.

My new haircut, and the consequences thereof

Well, as many now know, I buzzed my head a couple of weeks ago. (Why did I buzz all my hair off? I suppose it was a matter of being proactive--I don't like the idea of Mother Nature taking all my hair, me standing by like some passive observer with no vested interest in the process. If my hair's falling off, then I'M going to be the one to say when.) Many of you also know that Melanie and I climbed to the apex of Mount Timpanogos on Labor Day. (For more information on the climb, see the "Petersen Patrol" link at the right.)

I didn't realize that my hair had thinned to the point of sunburning my scalp. Thus, I'm literally losing my head these days. A big chunk fell off this morning, and so I scanned an image of it. I've been trying to upload it, but it's not working...perhaps I'll figure out what's up soon.
