And let me tell you – I feel strange.  My hair has been long, or longish for probably 8 years.  I’m still getting used to having short hair.  I asked my hairdresser to only cut off 10 inches, which is the minimum allowed by Locks of Love.  And she did that.  But then, somehow, by the time I had a hair style, she had cut off quite a few more inches.  And now I have short hair!  It is fun and the response from friends and students has generally been complimentary.  Most importantly, I like it and Nik likes it so we’re good on all fronts!

One of my students (who really isn’t the brightest of the bunch) asked me today, “Did you get a hair cut?” I answered, “No.”  And he said, “OK,” evidently believing me and going back to his opening drill.  I had to tell him, “I’m joking!”
