Hair today… gone tomorrow

On the walk back from the gym this morning someone walked by me and smiled, “you look so happy!”

I replied, “I’m in Mysore!”

I guess I smile most of the time…. almost challenging everyone I make eye contact with to smile back (and I try to make eye contact with everyone I pass).

Annie been wanting me to get a haircut – I remember  back in college, before taking my junior year in England I got a haircut at a fancy school – Veedal Sasson.  I had curly hair.  All the guy did was grab my four fingers lengths of my hair and cut everything else off. Then he washed my hair, fluffed it up… and I was done.  I figured that I have 4 fingers and a scissors….  I could do the same thing.  So I did for the next 17 years or so.  My first “professional” hair cut after that was just before our wedding.  During the first few months Annie and i were together we bought a flobee (a haircutting tool that connects to the vacuum cleaner).  I’ve been using that ever since (rarely going to a hair dresser).

My hair’s been untouched for a while since we’ve been in India and Annie “suggested” I go to a local hair dresser to neaten up… but not take much off.  I went, explained that I wanted to leave maybe 3 inches (of course he didn’t speak English).  I think he only knows how to cut one style…  at least no one will notice when I let my hair go messy now.

….and the hat fits better now.
