"don't call me bald"

we were three hours into the nine hour drive home from boston, ma to moncton, nb when we decided to stop for dinner. i was driving at the time, and rew suggested that we take an exit off the i-95 to downtown portland (maine, not oregon, for you west coasters like me). we both kind of assumed that a downtown exit would very quickly result in tons of places to eat a meal. i dont know if i was just so tired that i was somewhat hysterical or if i just didnt enjoy being lost in a foreign city, but i couldn't find anywhere that i wanted to pull over and eat at. after about twenty minutes of driving and then a sorry attempt to get back on the interstate, we stopped at the restaurant of all restaurants - Denny's. now i don't know about you, but i enjoy a cheap breakfast every now and then. don't get me wrong, Denny's does not rival Bon's off Broadway in East Van, but it's usual full of interesting characters, so i get my fill of people watching. while there were no old ladies with massive coifs circa Denny's on West Broadway, there were a fair share of american country bumpkins and they always make for a good time. of course, i also tend to amuse myself by making ridiculous comments to my boyfriend. here you see him giggling because i've once again pulled out my camera and i won't stop taking pictures.


then there's this next shot. the minute you begin to tease rew he tends to make this face:


and if you dare progress any farther, you might end up with this gem of a reaction. i call it the "don't call me bald" face because, of course, that's exactly what i'd done just seconds prior to snapping the shot. if there's anything you don't do with rew, it's make him more aware of the fact that he's beginning to bald. now really, he's not doing so badly at all, but he seems to freak out at the very thought of losing all his precious hair. i figure, meh, it's just hair. it doesnt really bother me at all. however, i will continue to bug/pester him because shots like this make it irresistable.

nevertheless, he's still pretty cute. yeah, that's right, he's cute (or manly/rugged/whatever term he would prefer). though i guess if i want him to stick around long enough to see him go bald, i'll be keeping my comments to a minimum (well at least i'll reserve them for when a camera is around)
