During my time away from the agency, I volunteer with the Durham County, Special Olympics.  Before this past season began, I made a deal with my soccer team.  If they could go the entire season without arguing (too much) AND win a gold medal at the North Carolina Special Olympic State Games – they could shave my head.

You see, last year my team was set-up to win the gold, but their in-fighting cost them dearly. My strategy was to use this incentive when they began to argue. A quick reference to my long flowing locks would usually hush them up.

The state games were held November 7th & 8th. They did very well. Let’s just say, I now know the exact shape of my head. Every nook and every cranny!

Bravo to the Durham County Bulldogs. Champions of Division 3.  They are a VERY Special Group of athletes. And their barber skills aren’t too shabby either.
