Baldy Balderson

Okay, it's done. I'm bald and I promised pictures. So, here I am this morning:

I spent the morning cleaning the cars and taking them through the car wash. Then it was time. They shaved one side, then the top, then the back and the last side. So, at one point, I was bald on top and one side, but if you looked at the other side, where I still had hair, Leah said I looked just like my dad. Only one word for that. . . Handsome!

So, here it comes....



Are you ready?




Are you sure you want to see this?




Okay, Here we go:






So far, the kids have really enjoyed touching it. My biggest fear was that I'd have some sort of strange bumps or ridges on my head, but it looks good, for the most part. Also, my eyes are magic.

You look good! But maybe that's just the magic eyes. I was hoping for some sort of giant mole on your head or something. :)

You look awesome! I wish I looked that good with no hair.

I love you, brother.

I forgot to add that one of the great advantages of having no hair is that you step out of the shower, and you're ready to go for the day. (After you put your clothes on, of course.) No hair styling, no hair product needed. Yes, you've just discovered an extra 5-10 (or 30, depending on your hair styling habits) to your day.

Now you and Joel match! Also, who needs clothes to start the day? I'm just sayin.

Joel said...

I always knew you secretly wanted to be like me. First my hairstyle, then before you know it you'll be voting Obama!

It looks solid, man. The brothers K know how to pull off the no-hair look. Well done.

Looks good! Matt

If you squinted and ate something either really tart or disgusting, you could possibly pull off a James Carville impersonation...

Christy said...

yes, the eyes are magic....Leah is so lucky you should tell her how lucky she is everyday and then make her rub your head.

I'd say you look HOT, but you are my brother, so I probably shouldn't. Weirdness. But you look GREAT! Josh may be in Vegas this month, maybe he can represent for our family and attend the CHemo is OVer party. Also, I will check to see if Wal-Mart has a Chemo is OVer registry. THey are always trying to one-up Target, and that just may be the way they have done it! :) Love you!

You look like Jerry Tarkanian

Heya Matt,
I always thought bald men were more attractive than those with hair. Glad to hear the good news that chemo is over. Enjoy the parties. Think of you often and will keep you in prayer.

Wow!!! you're a site for sore eyes!! in fact they're killin' me right now. I have a friend (besides you, of course,)that is bald. When I act like I'm being blinded he says "I am so bright that my Father calls me son...." I am so glad that you made it through this. I guess this is what all the stomach issues were in KC... funny, I thought you were just trying to get me to leave your cubicle. Seriously, I am very glad to hear that you're going to be around for a while. You're a great guy and I wish you the best.
