One of my best friends, Baker, (see above pics) was faced with a difficult decision very early in life as he began to lose his hair.  He chose to wear a hairpiece (one of the best I have ever seen) to return to what he considered his youthful look.  In later years, for various reasons he discarded it for the natural look as you see above.  The point is, it's pretty much a done deal for us dudes that you will lose most, if not all of your hair as you get older.  In fact, statistics tell us after the ripe old age of 50 - 85% of men will begin this process.  So here are a few of my observations that may or may not help you make that decision when the time comes. 10)     With that said, all the baldhead jokes I made earlier in my life are suddenly not as funny as they once were. 9)     The famous star that pulled off this look flawlessly and embodied the phrase "bald is beautiful" was Yul Brenner.  Most recently, the "Rock" se...

  Lots of people have beards, in fact over 50% of the men in the world sport a beard and over 30% of the men in America have them.  There seems to be no end to the type, look, size and length of beards. Here are a few of my thoughts.  (FYI - not me in the above picture) 10)     Superheroes rarely have beards.  For example, Superman does not have a beard.  How could you trim it, if he is more powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, I don't think earth has a razor that would do the job.  Can he even grow a beard?   9)     According to the Guiness book of world records the longest beard ever recorded was 17 feet 6 inches - Hans Langseth a Norwegian living in Iowa. Go to the Natural History Museum in DC and you can see it on display.  Vivian Wheeler holds the record for the ladies at a mere 10 inches. 8)     The most interesting ...

  10)     We all have problems, but don't let problems have us. 9)     Money cannot but happiness, just ask a ny lottery winner - but it can make a nice down payment. 8)     There was a time when I did not exist, but now that I do exist there will never be a time I don't exist.  (May want to read twice to get the full effect) 7)     In my many years of investigating tax crimes I discovered what every millionaire wants - yep , another million. 6)    Gary Player, the golfer, once said the more I practice, the luckier I get - it applies to more than golf.  5)     You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated. 4)     Generally speaking, the worst decision you can make is no decision. 3)     You can't have a winner without a loser, sucess without failure, problems without opportunities -choose a side.  2)     The secret to h...
