OK, that probably got your attention. But actually M is downstairs re-arranging the kitchen in a late Sunday night burst of domestic energy (it's been one of those not- much-seemed-to-have-got-done weekends).
Anyway, back to shaved heads. It turns out that shaving one's head is the latest fundraising tool for cancer research (or perhaps the clippers are the tool). This came to light as Sebastian prepares for his first Terry Fox Run (or hop or walk or whatever) at school on the 25th. I asked Seb if he would donate all of his personal savings (about $39) to cancer research if his dad agreed to shave his head. After a pause for due consideration, he said yes!!!
Unfortunately, M then pointed out that we had missed the national head-shaving day by 24 hours. Oh well, there is always next year!
If anyone would like to sponsor Sebastian, you can do so on-line at terryfoxrun.org; go to the school column and click on donate on-line; followed by confirming Ontario as the school's location and then its name: Dewson St. You get a tax receipt. You can also link the donation to Seb by typing in his name or drop us an e-mail, so we can tell him how many people are thinking of his efforts. I'll be there with Sophie to cheer him and his classmates on.
