Matters of the facade, 2: Haircut and shave, two bits.

I began Friday morning as above. Then this happened.

A few scissor cuts and random razor swipes later, I emerged like this, all inoffensive and corporate.

It was for a good cause, and I recommend you join me in making a donation to Camp Quality. Give Strandz & Threadz a shout, and they'll tell you how.

Strandz & Threadz in New Albany hosts their annual Cuts for a Cure May 23 (WDRB)

Cuts for a Cure: Roger's hair will disappear on Friday, May 23 at Strandz & Threadz.

On Friday, May 23, the ponytail is coming off, and I'm getting a utilitarian haircut with considerable metaphorical properties.

The act will occur at Strandz & Threadz, 322 Vincennes Street, as part of the salon's 7th Annual Cuts for a Cure. The event runs from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and here's the program.
