Haircut for charity

April 2nd, 2007

Today was the day I sat down at got my hair cut.  After 9 years of having long hair, I’m fulfilling an obligation (”I’ll get my hair cut when you make me a VP!”) that I made off the cuff about 7 years ago, never thinking I’d have to make good.  A large portion of folks gathered downstairs at lunch to watch the cutting happen and encourage the scissor holders (and also support me in my time of need).  Laura was very nice and also had her hair cut for charity which made me feel less alone in the ordeal.  Polly had cut her hair for charity earlier in the year which was also a wonderful gesture.  In the end the highest donation was supposed to actually do the initial cut of my hair, but Robert couldn’t make it, so it fell to Shae.  Overall, it was a good cause with the hair going to Angel Hair for Kids, and $2500 being split across several charities.  People took some photos of the event (so I could remember the horror) and Howard put together a wonderful video to help me relive the event to the end of my days.

Overall, I feel sad.  I liked having long hair and not sure I suit having short hair although I definitely look like “the man”.
