Yesterday I made my first TV appearance with my new look, on the CW11 Morning News here in NYC, and based on the emails I’ve gotten, the “Extra” makeover at the Butterfly Salon has done its job of providing me with man-meeting hair.  One approving optometrist could relate to my past hair troubles, writing “I used to have bad hair, too.  Then it fell out.”

Also got a nice surprise from the CW11 Morning News folks — on the air, they presented me with a jar of change that they’d collected from their staff to support my Super Bowl quest!  Now if my close friends and family would just give me their wedding gifts in advance, I might be able to make a tiny crack in this three million dollar nut.  (Cash only please, Aunt Mina — NBC won’t accept juicers or George Foreman grills.)

Better get proactive and start calling some potential sponsors . . .
