I Finally Cut My Locks

I Finally Cut My Locks

Well, it's done. I've been mulling this one over for the past few months. I have had a pony tail for the past decade. It has gradually gotten grayer as the years have passed - and I have less hair on the front of my head as it has turned "loose".

I woke up this morning thinking about cutting the "mane", and, after some discussion with my stylist, she clipped it off.

She cut off 8 inches of salt and pepper ponytail and it will be donated to Locks of Love.

It is always interesting to see people's reactions and just how long it takes for them to notice the change. We have a party to go to tonight so I'll post a short update afterwards to let you know how reaction times are.

Back in college I cut half of a full beard off - from the middle of my nose to my Adam's apple - one side was as smooth as a baby's butt and the other was bushy with growth. It took people minutes, at least, to notice. This was when they were staring me right in the face, talking to me. It could have been the 55 gallon trash can of Grape and Grain...

Hopefully the crowd tonight will be a bit quicker on the draw.
