So I've come to expect that intensified kendo training includes more bruises and wounds such as the large silverdollar-sized bruise right underneath my collar bone, or even the missed-tsuki that my kids (and Wifey) are convinced is a hicky. But what I'm not used to at all is how the hair in the front of my head is apparently thinning--at least from one angle, and I think that these are the wages of years of wearing too many hats and not guarding my men adequately. Time to speak to my barber.
