Yet Another Frivolous Topic

[Doctor31074]

Tom, when watching your episodes it's hard not to notice your glorious hair! Fortunately I too have curly hair, and I was wondering how you made it look the way it did and how long it took to grow out that marvelous mane.

Look forward to hearing from you,
Cody Tracy

My hair? My hair? Oh, that stuff. I still have a lot of it but now my mane is white, "nor grew it white in a single night as men's have grown through sudden fears" as Lord Byron said a long time ago. It's not the same hair of course but people think it is. I often scratch it and that may have been a stimulus but I don't think about it much.

I just heard from an old friend of mine (81) who has lovely silken silver hair, that he has broken his hip. He slid off a chair while taking his pants off! The chair had a silken bottom. It was not the first time he'd slid off though I dare say it might be the last. So let us all resolve to take off our pants with extreme unction; especially while sitting on a chair with a silky bottom.

Amen, Cody
