I've recently noticed that my forehead appears to have grown (or moved). The distance between my eyebrows (yes, those caterpillars over my eyes), and the beginning of my hairline, has increased dramatically since my earlier years. Now, I know they say that 'grass doesn't grow on a busy street' (the anthem of bald men)... but this is beginning to
concern me. Eventually, if this trend continues, my hairline will not even be visible when viewing me from the front! (which in my opinion, is a far more flattering vantage point).
When measuring my forehead with a micrometer (the only proper way to measure a forehead shift), just to be certain... I have found that my hairline, in my 20's, was a mere 4.75". While now, it appears to be about 39.5". Yes, that's right... the size of a ripe Mississippi watermelon, and half as full.
I won't join the ranks of the members of the hairclub for men. In my opinion, the only thing that looks sillier than a man combing sparse hair over his obviously bald spot, is someone covering that same baldspot with a dead possum, held in place with glue, and magic. (the only one who thinks that looks good is the one under the possum, and they're seriously deluded... because the possum carcass causes their brain to overhead, and malfunction).
I am, however, giving serious consideration to spray painting the offending area with Krylon Ebony Spray paint (which is rust-proof, to boot and holds a shine up to 2 years).
I'll continue to monitor the shift, and will give you occasional updates (I know, inquiring minds want to know). I'm inclined to blame this on Global Warming. No reason why... I've just decided that's where the blame lies.
