Don't be embarrassed. It happened to me frequently with an Ultegra headset I 
had on my Atlantis. I had to snug it up every couple months. 

More recently, I experienced a similar thing on a different bike, and checked 
the usual suspects: brakes, headset, cracks in the frame/fork, etc. Nothing. 
Over time I noticed that my bar angle was pitching slightly forward. Applying 
considerable forward rotational force showed that the bar clamp on the stem 
wasn't as tight as it could be. I greased the bolt(s) and retightened, which 
fixed it. I later figured out that hard braking was causing the bar to rotate 
forward, but pulling back on the bar to ease over a particular railroad track 
was having the opposite affect. My one-way commute had the one railroad to hop 
over, followed by a fairly hard stop. The effect was self-canceling such that I 
didn't notice for quite awhile that the bar was slipping, aside from the sense 
that there was a small singular movement when I hit the brakes hard.
