new hairs

when i moved to the 'bode, i decided that i'd let my hair go, free flowin', growin' itself out out for twenty six months.

and then someone mentioned haircuts for ten dollars.  and i said no. ten dollars? that's one-fifteenth of how much money i have each month after bills as a volunteer.  

and then i said, topher! you have saved a great deal of money more than me. maybe you will give me ten dollars for a haircut?

and at first he laughed.

and then he gave it to me!

and i got to go from this to that!

i ventured to the salon with three fellow volunteers, two of whom also geared up for a little snip-snippety-snip!

i snapped a before...

and after photo!

 and took my new hairs, all light and schtuff, out to celebrate.

amazing how something as simple as a haircut can give one a new lease on life!
