Day 38 - So, I have proof I had my hair cut exactly two years ago today. However, you'll have to trust me in saying I've not done so since! The reason I am letting it grow is a little hard to understand, even for me. I'm not really sure. Let's see.
First, there was never a known dress policy in any of the places I taught, but I no longer need to cut my hair for career reasons. This means I have found yet another perk of retiring early.
In addition, when we were growing up hair was longer. I reviewed record album covers from the 70's and 80's and realized I sort of like that look. It's hard to take care of but pretty versatile.
More importantly, a counter-culture musical such as Hair would probably never succeed in Trump's Great America, so perhaps my shiny locks are just a way to rebel.
There might be another reason to let the hair fly though. I see a lot of guys my age and notice that they cannot grow their hair long as they don't have enough. Therefore, I might suggest the primary reason I am letting my hair grow is simply that I am able to.
As this page has a potentially global audience, I did not start out with my current photo at the top. Some people could be eating breakfast or something right now. I did successfully ignore 'an intervention' staged by friends in Vancouver. Up til now, it's generally pulled into a ponytail. Who knows, I might just walk to another barber someday, on a fluke. But think of all the money I've saved so far!
