Count Your Blessings #133 – A hat for my head

There’s no getting around the fact that I’m getting older, and getting older brings with it some consequences.

One of the consequences for me has been the migration of hair follicles from the top of my head into my nose and ear cavity. This bring two problems, one of which I won’t discuss today, but the second one is that my head now needs something to keep it warm in the cold, and cool in the heat.

Once upon a time I had hair that was an ample cover for my head, and even ventured down onto my shoulders, but those days are no more.

The simple addition of a piece of cloth on my balding pate makes all the difference, and I’m grateful for it.

“That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.”

Charlie Chaplin
