		<description>So, I have to get a head shave to merit a visit? uhhhhh, no. I get bad grumpy just growing out a regular HAIRCUT! Thanks for getting random with us...

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  No... I&#039;ll let you keep YOUR hair.  Besides, I&#039;m hoping I get down there to see you long before I hit the 50 mark.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Les, everything sounds great!  Dancing at work is such a plus!  I am so envious of your courage in shaving your head.  I have always wanted to but was way too afraid!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Well then!  I guess maybe I oughtta just might spend my 50th birthday jaunting down to visit you, Denise...  We&#039;ll shave heads on the Buddy System.  ;-)  You&#039;ve got a few years yet to get up your gumption...&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Hey there, I love a good long soak as well.

I have given you The Butterfly Award-it&#039;s over at London Thoughts if you want to pick it up.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Wow!  Many thanks, Descartes.  I&#039;ll be right over!   

Pssst...!  Niiice!  I&#039;ve stashed it in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://lesbecker.com/LesBlog/awards/&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;Trophy Room.&lt;/a&gt; :-D &lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>That is a good random list. It&#039;s probably better than most I&#039;ve read. And no, you&#039;re not bad, but it&#039;s funny after the one above it.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Thanks, Louise.  And I was going for the &quot;funny&quot;, so I&#039;m glad it came out that way.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Dancing at work? And making coworkers do it too? That sounds like a decent job.

I am dying to see a picture of your bald head. Did it look good? It must have looked okay if you&#039;re gonna do it again at 50. Good for you!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Yes.  It&#039;s a party in the parking lot all shift long.  I get paid to conversate and dance.

The &quot;bald-headed&quot; pic will have to wait until the next shave, I&#039;m afraid.  As far as I know, only one picture was taken of me the last time, and I don&#039;t have it.  I didn&#039;t have a camera then (But I DID look right cool.).
&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>A walk in the woods keeps me grounded and I love to be out there...almost as much as I like sitting in front of this computer.  Such a challenge to stay either place for long!

Glad things are going well!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Strange how &quot;our&quot; kind love to be out in the wild, and then come home and sit in the middle of all this technology and write about it, isn&#039;t it?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Bald women will be the new fashion statement ;)

		<description>I hope you start a shaved head trend, because how great would it be if everyone went around bald? Getting ready in the morning would take about 3 seconds. 

I love the photo, and even more, I love that that is how your life feels right now. Nice.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  It DID take about 3 seconds to get ready - I loved it!  Pass a hand over the &quot;hair&quot; and call it done.

I love that photo, too.  It&#039;s a nice memory of a great day, and absolutely portrays my current state of being.  VERY nice...&lt;/em&gt;</description>
