An offering

So, it's time to do something for a good cause. A far cry from my normal self-centered self.

The annual Terry Fox Marathon is coming to town in September. No, I'm not taking up jogging. I can't see why I would do that abuse to my body. I would much rather ride my bike 100km, than jog a mile. So instead, in an effort to raise money for the Cancer Society, I have offered my hair to be shaved off. The deal is that all my co-workers must first raise $1000, and if they do, the top of my head becomes a que ball. The beard is off limits. I know what my chin looks like, it can stay covered.

The funny thing is, that my hair has never been the topic of so much conversation. After the official announcement was made, one co-worker came up to me with a smile on her face and said "I'm going door to door if I have to". Oh my. I guess people are used to me being so shaggy, that they are caught off guard that I'd shave my head. It's for a good cause.

So show me the money, and I'll show you the top of my head.
