The New 'Do

So, late last week dad noticed his hair coming out a lot. Just a few one day, then a bit more the next, and by Saturday it was falling out in clumps when he'd pull on it. He said it's kind of an agitated tingling type feeling, and he even had trouble sleeping on Friday night because it felt like every movement was pulling the hair out of his head. So, after dinner last night Mom went about the business of giving the old man a buzz cut, while I stood by and provided Quality Control.

Last time, the buzzer that they got was really not good quality....it clumped up very easily and tugged at his hair. But this time, they went out and got a really nice one and it worked like a charm.

So we thought we'd post some new pictures of his new hairdo...

Badass Leo is back! :-)




I have no idea what he is doing here, but it cracked me up.

Photo caption contest on the the previous picture and the one that follows...come on guys, I know you can come up with something clever! :-)




Here he is in front of my car that he famously backed into while under the influence of 'roids last year. He looks like he's gloating. Or showing off his new hat since last time he shaved his head it was the middle of summer. It's a bit different when its  out.





I think I asked him to smile, and this is what he gave me.

Not that mom would never have let me put the above picture up on the blog. But what she doesn't realize is that as a photographer, my subjects sign an invisible contract wherein I am allowed to exploit the weird faces that they willingly, and with malice aforethought, make at me. :-)



This one is my favorite though:

    Like the haircut, Dad. Keep rocking it.
