huh? (xl cranium edition)

my grandfather, rather famously, was the head of ob/gyn at seton for over four decades…

…and while by father did finance for the medical industry, rather than serve in it, he DID serve in the u.s. navy during vietnam, as a naval medic. i have no medical history, professionally, and have, again, somewhat famously, not seen a medical doctor for myself since 1995.

so here’s what i don’t get…

why does an adidas bucket hat, circa 1998, when i was doing hightower radio, which was broadcast out of threadgill’s world headquarters (rip) in south austin, where they gave me the employee discount on food, and as a result i weighed 275lbs, not fit my head now when i have NO hair (versus very long and full hair), and i’m (literally) SEVENTY POUNDS LIGHTER weighing in at 205lbs as of this morning, not fucking fit?

the same can be said for many baseball caps i have from the same period.

did i lose weight but gain skull? have i turned into a human bobble head?
