Just to let everyone know, the person to be entrusted with removing my hair has been selected.
It will be my friend Ernest, who works at Bobo's Salon - 1705 Davie Street, Vancouver (604-682-5999). A long-time stylist, I have known Ernest since the mid-1990s; he used to be a regular in the "Bum Zone" at Nat Bailey Stadium. Not only was he a regular customer, he also played on the beer-league softball team that one of the regulars started.
(A team, by the way, which had a direct impact on my meeting my wife, so I will always have good feelings about that experience. Thanks Rusty.)
He is going to sacrifice his lunch for the cause, and that means more than money to him. So, rest assured, I have booked a professional to cut off the hair, which will then be bagged and sent off to make wigs.
With June 15 now only 10 days away, the last pieces are falling into place. Even the elementary school kids who share our building are on board. Thanks to their inspecting the couches after Dad's nap, they have been able to contribute $70 to the cause. Division 6 - YOU ROCK!
Next update: what I'll be wearing on the fateful day. Oh, where's Austin Scarlett when I need him?
