Pandemic Activities Post

Bonnie and Clyde interested in the goings-on

Things to do during the Pandemic (Part 1)
 
Tomorrow I'll be getting back to my look at the Spy / Thriller genre. I just wanted to do a quick post tonight about my new haircut. Yup, that's it. It was my first haircut since we were told to social distance. Of course, I didn't go to a barbershop because, of course, they are still closed. Hence my post about a seemingly trivial subject. My lovely wife Jo volunteered to do the work so we set up out on the deck with the puppies as interested spectators.

Front before

My hair was really getting on my nerves. I have been playing with my sideburns almost steadily (previously I'd mentioned my sideburns reminded me of Isaac Asimov)

Front after

So Jo went to it with a pair of scissors and a comb while we sat out on the deck in the sunshine. (It did try to rain once or twice).

Side before

I only winced once or twice as she was quite enthusiastic; hair was flying every which way. Have you ever seen Edward Scissorhands? (Just kidding)

Side after

Her aim was find my inner Gibbs (Mark Harmon on CSI if you weren't aware) (Ed Note: As Jo pointed out to me this morning, Harmon is in NCIS. *sigh* I blame error on the fact we were watching CSI reruns). I think she succeeded, don't you? 😋

Back before

When my hair gets too long, it gets quite thick at the back and uncomfortable on my pillow when I'm trying to sleep.

Back after

It all feels a pound or so lighter. Do you approve? I think I may never have to go for a haircut again. It will be kind of cold getting it done on the deck in the winter mind you.

As payment for this excellent haircut I barbecued hamburgers for Jo.

Tomorrow I'll get back to my normal posts. See you on Thursday.
