Beth - I’ve never been really big on hats. I wear one reluctantly in my kayak because when you’re on the water, the sun comes at you from so many angles. Mrs. Perils and I have a suicide pact that either of us can execute if we’re caught wearing those matching hats that you see couples wearing.

I know this really great place that sells authentic Panama hats — give you “men of a certain age” quite a dashing look; so much better than a John Deere ball cap. . .(not that you would ever go “there”). My husband has a cool Tilley Endurables hat that he grabs when we head out — says it keeps his head warm. I’ve offered him a hair transplant, but he hasn’t taken me up on it yet.

Brian - if you go first, I promise I’ll miss you, too.

Springer - I was over it on the first stroke of the clipper. Just another liberating aspect of old age.

Sue - I’ll hafta watch it, and then decide. thinking the barber won’t speak French, though..

You look like you’re hoping you’ve convinced the principal that you did indeed NOT do it. But also resigned to yet one more undeserved detention even so.

I don’t know, it has a certain je ne sais quoi - and there is the added incentive that it will be longer before you have to go back AND that is always a plus in my book…

It will grow back. Just give it a few months and it will be just a little shorter than it was before. I know. It has happened to me…but I always get a different person when I go in, so I’m part of a perpetual experiment.

Who says one gets crankier as one gets older. I only meant that I would miss you when you left for Seattle

@Brian - I still LOL thinking about that moment by the oyster fire last November when you looked at me and said, “I’m gonna miss you!” Do you recall at all the meme in the Pogo cartoon strip where Pogo and (I think) Albert sat in rocking chairs on a front porch and said they were racing to see who could be the oldest, or something like that? Dude, my rocking chair is titanium, and it’s aero.

@Kathleen & Brian - I could probably qualify for a slot in the upcoming reality show (NBC, of course. Prolly at 10pm) called “Dumb and Dahmer”. It’s not just a pipe dream. I’m off to Wisconsin next week to do background.

You only look a little like a mass murderer and you won’t have to go back for a l o n g time.
