According to the new “Hair Q Score” (hairqscore.com), Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Aniston have the best hair in Hollywood, each scoring 9 out of a possible 10.  Bringing up the follicle rear are Lindsay Lohan and David Letterman.  Of course, the perrenial hair apparent for “worst hair” title goes to Donald Trump. 

The Hair Q Score, was developed by hair restoration and transplant surgeon Dr. Larry Shapiro.  To come up with the list,  health, shine, body, texture, color and amount and presentation of hair are factored in. 

Kim Kardashian also scored near the top, earning a Hair Q Score of 9, while George Clooney scored an 8.  Meanwhile, on the other end of the scale, Nicolas Cage scored a 3 and Mel Giblson a 2.  None of the celebrities scored a 10.

As I came to work this morning, I noticed a man standing in front of the station, his hair blowing in the wind.  And there he stood, to proud to chase after it….

5.  Autumn is a season for big decisions – like whether or not it’s too late to start spring cleaning.

4.  In autumn we can look forward to falling leaves and rising gas prices.  We’ll be raking it up while the oil companies are raking it in.

3.  The autumn leaves are a lot like raising kids.  First they turn on you, and then they fly away.  And next thing you know, you look out the window and they’re back!

2.  Autumn is when we can hardly wait until all the leaves turn brown to match the grass. 

1.  Autumn is when the colors change from green to red to gold – and that’s just the gunk in your swimming pool.

Have a great weekend!

A devestated-looking man knocks on the door of a woman known for charity giving.

“Please ma’am, he says, “Can you help this poor, tragic family down the block?  The father just lost his job and his wife is too ill to work.  They’re about to be turned out into the street unless someone can pay their rent.”

“That’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my life!”  says the woman.  “May I ask who you are?”

“Their landlord,” he replied.

This will be awesome!  A Ray Charles rarities disc will be released in October that includes a duet with Johnny Cash on the Kris Kristofferson-penned “Why Me, Lord?”  The song was produced by Country Music Hall of Famer Billy Sherrill in 1981 and will finally see the light of day on October 26th, when Concord Records issues “Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters.”  The album also features “A Little Bitty Tear,” a song penned by the late Hank Cochran that was a hit for Burl Ives.

Add that to your collection!

Just thought I’d share with you.  My son started his course in Firefighting today at Conestoga.  He’s wanted to do this since he can remember.  Well, the time has finally come.

It just seems like yesterday that he was on the floor playing with a toy firetruck.  Now it’s the real deal.  It’s one of the most noblest professions out there.  I wanna’ run out of a burning building…and he wants to run in!

I’m very proud of you my Son.  Maybe we’ll see you on a calender too!
