What'd you do that for!

So I carry Matt downstairs with me while I let the dog out. As usual we're about eye level with each other when I do this.

While we're watching Xandra do her thing, he turns to face me, spreads his arms wide and begins slapping me repeatedly on both cheeks.

On feeling civilized

There's just something about getting a haircut that is so refreshing.

I really really needed one. My hair had long since started developing the wave it gets when it's too long and I had this annoying ducktail like bit in the back because I always comb my hair in that direction.

So today I finally got the haircut and it's a very good one. I like the barber I go to. He's cheap and it includes shaving the back of my neck and sideburns with a straight razor as well as a brief neck massage.

But there's also a downside. Whenever I get a haircut he brushes my remaining hairs that used to be called, "bangs" forward to even them out. I used to be able to have the full Beatle style mop-top in front. No longer..
