Sometimes I wish I were in charge.
    I had that thought recently as ! looked in the mirror and tried to calculate how much of my skull is still covered by hair. Let's just say it's south of 50 percent and leave it at that. If I were in charge, all guys get to keep their hair, cradle to grave.
    This got me thinking about other physiological inequities. In the last couple of years, I've made some significant diet and exercise changes in order to improve my health. I have all but eliminated soda, and numerous other caloric delights from my diet. while I have logged sweaty, painful hours at the gym.
