Bad hair day? NO hair day!

So, Wednesday the 17th -- just a few days ago -- my hair was so shaggy that I finally got around to giving myself a trim with the hair clippers with the plastic spacer on it.

As we've done the last time or two, The Girl (recently turned 4 y.o.!) helped me: I sat on the floor of the bathroom, and she shaved (most of) my head.

Then I tidied up the sections that The Girl had missed, and I took off the spacer so I could shave the back of my neck. I considered asking The Lady to do it -- but she was otherwise occupied, so I figured I'd start in.

That was, it turns out, an error. I ended up with a bit of an ''inlet'' on the hairline across my neck. I tried fixing it, but just made it worse. By the time The Lady arrived, it was pretty much past rescuing.

So, I went all the way (see photos).

I'd been meaning to do this for a few years, now -- just to see what my head is shaped like.

Now I know. :)


(Hm: In the second photo, the softness around my middle is starting to show in the softness around my jaw and cheeks. I should start watching my diet... maybe exercise a bit.)


Well -- it **is** getting towards summer -- and I always wear a hat outdoors, anyhow (scalp protection from the sun). But indoors, it's **very** cool up there!
