JumpStart by Robb Armstrong for May 12, 2023

You’re alright as you are – especially after news of deNiro’s new daughter…

Robb, I’m friends with the creator of “Old Images of Philadelphia” on Facebook. He has 4 daughters. His grandchildren are the same age as his youngest daughters!

own it, dude!

we got great-grands. she gripes about grey hair—i’d just like to have some.

Given some of the toupees men wear, I’m with Joe on this one!

I’m gonna make sure I never become bald.

Wait a second, the Delray family travel expenses issue needs to be resolved before starting a new arc!

Um, that was done in one of the Jump Start books. Made laugh when Joe snatched it.

My dad was bald before I was born. It’s the grays around the edge that made him look older.

My older brother went bald at 18. Bought a toupee. It looked like a toupee. Melted on a steam line at the papermill.

Poor Raymond. Baldness was the least of my worries so I never did worry about it. My hair didn’t start to hide until my forties or 50s. I wouldn’t have teased Raymond had I known mine wouldn’t go away in four years too .

Toupees exist so they can be shot off in comedy movies

Remind him that there are only so many perfect heads in the world, and the rest are covered with hair.

My hair started thinning in my 20s (I’m now 63), and I’ve never given it a second thought. Same thing happened to my father, and for the short time he was in my life (passed away when I was 14), I saw how it never concerned him. I had the benefit of a good role model. The main difference between us is that I sport a beard and mustache, and he never did, but that’s just a matter of personal preference.

My wife of 38 years also likes me just the way I am.
