Head Shaving Friday August 6th

One of the side effects of many chemotherapy drugs of course is that one loses one's hair.  It's no fun to watch it come out in clumps here and there and a better course of action is to take preemptive measures and shave it off.

Alex's hair wasn't due to fall out for a few more days but a couple of his friends wanted to do it with him so before a bunch of people disappeared on holidays this week, we decided to shave some heads last Friday.  I think only three or four were on the initial dance card but eventually about fifteen people ending up shaving.


Since Rob was going to be one of our barbers, he went first ...



One by one, we fell ...



... regardless of what level of black belt you had or if you were a little hesitant at first ...



Any excuse for a party


Until we had what Debbie called:


TEAM ALEX!!
