Tom's comment to a friend a few years back.... "I had hair like this
before the military and vowed that I would grow it again. This is the result of
one long haired, earring wearing, tattooed, drum playing, hell raising fool, who
doesn't give a damn. I love my family, life, true friends, our country, and of
course God. Live for the moment my friend, smile, laugh, and enjoy life while we
still have it. I know I'm talking like reverend Tom talking crap. If you need
some hair you're talking to the right dude LOL, Later"
