JUST FOR FUN

Whenever someone sees the new bald version of Mike 2.0 for the first time, he or she can’t resist the urge to compare my new countenance with some well known personality or sports figure.

My buddies just call me Howie (Mandel) while my just turned four year old grandson Noah came up with Cailou, one of his animated favourites. I’d like to think my immediate family could be a bit more original.

Terry tried to rile me up when she initially suggested I look like Mr. T (where would I get the jewelry to pull that off ?) but now likens me to Yul Brynner from musical The King and I. My realist daughter Carolyn thinks I look like the character John Locke from the television series Lost. Son Derek took a while to come up with Kevin Spacey’s version of the villainous Lex Luthor. Janice compares me to Ben Kingsley (hopefully not as Gandhi) while Laura and her husband Chris both agree I’m Mats Sundin.

And I thought I looked like Bruce Willis!

Funny how my family seems blissfully unaware that their Christmas gifts this year will be determined by their answers. What do you think?  Help me decide who should get a new leather jacket for Christmas and who gets a lump of coal. Just take a moment to click in. And thanks for your support throughout my journey.
