Remember high school? You had some great times, right?

I can certainly recall my first experiences. Yeah, before going in, my hair had to look really good – I had to impress all the girls. Next, I had to get to school, which unfortunately required taking the bus my first year. Yearning for freedom, I couldn’t wait until I’d get a license and be able to drive. Man, I used to say to myself, I’ll have my hair looking great, borrow my dad’s car whenever I need it, and everything will be good.

Back then, a new teenager with a full head of hair, the possibilities of the future were so bright in my mind. Finally given the freedom of a driver’s license when I turned sixteen, I was able to fill up for adventures on the open road with ONLY twenty bucks, all with my hair looking perfect.

Of course, that was a long time ago.

            Like all of you, I need to fill my gas-tank to drive my car. Furthermore, I noticed the recent rise in the price of gasoline. It seemed only yesterday that lots of people feared $6/gallon gas was right around the corner. Complete with a thinning hairline, one that only marches backwards with the passing of each and every year, I even considered selling a kidney, all to enable me to continue driving my car.

But unlike my years in high school, those high gas prices only happened very recently - but now they're back to being reasonable, almost like a cycle. When I filled my tank just this week the price of gas the price was well below three dollars. It’s certainly something I’d didn’t think I’d ever see again, at least not so soon. No, thankfully, gas is bearable again, at least not as crippling as it was over the summer.

It’s still funny how my hairline hasn’t returned to where it was, even as the high gas prices appear to be following a cyclical pattern.

I wonder if this cyclical notion could help my hair-line.

Maybe it’ll just start re-growing, cyclical-like? I wonder, if gas prices can change like this in such a short time, will my lost hair suddenly start re-growing? Could it really happen? The miracle so many men have prayed for?

Maybe I should just be happy we can all enjoy cheaper gas again....
