The marvels of small town charm

I met a man with Alopecia yesterday.  It really DOES exist.  I was skeptical since my only exposure to this particular disease had been from the TV show "Arrested Development (the only show to ever capture the sheer amount of dysfunction which exists in my family and turn it into something about which to laugh instead of cry)."


I figured it was either The Big "C" or that this guy knew how to Bic his head extremely well.  I'll admit it folks, Alopecia was third on my list.  And how wrong I was. 

He did have eyebrows, which is what threw me off the trail--I was certain that an Alopecian didn't have those.

He was THE nicest Alopecian ever.  Also,  he was tan, single and my age (AND a farmer--mostly hay).  My coworkers are already trying to figure out ways to set me up with him. 

The best part?  Now I can cross that off my Bucket List.

  1. uhhh yeah, remember when I DATED a guy with Alopecia? Did you not know this or ever hear about this? Pretty crazy stuff, but mostly I hated how his arms were ten times smoother than mine. lol. However, if they are missing eyebrows, as he was, glasses are a must. It's just so strange looking without em. Congrats on your find.

  2. p.s. love the Arrested Development reference cuz now I can't stop laughing to myself picturing the guy's eyebrows constantly moving or being misplaced.

  3. I did NOT know that!! Well, since we're probably going to start dating, we can swap stories later :) And all I can think about the eyebrows is when Gob is working for him and he says, "and now i have to go with him because his surprised eyebrows are ready to be picked up."
