E-mail and a Haircut
I haven't been able to keep up with the content of my e-mail in-box since the trip to California at the end of OCTOBER. I would get the various in-boxes knocked down to where I could reasonably have hope of getting the last 500 e-mails cleared out...and I would go off-line again for a period of days and it would be right back where things had started. I got the work e-mail box emptied this afternoon. E-M-P-T-Y. I just finished emptying out my "personal" in-box. The thing that I hate most about the e-mail getting that out of control is that something always gets buried down under the pleas from the Nigerian Consulate. Sure enough, there was news of some one having died in an e-mail from 6 weeks ago. It wasn't someone where I needed to have been at the funeral. But, it was a situation where the sender may well have been wondering why I hadn't offered any type of consolation.
But, everything is all tidy now.
Another thing is that my #3 child, the hair-dresser, gave me a color and cut on Saturday. She really cut it. Really cut it. I have gone from having more hair than I have had in 20+ years to having less hair than I have had for quite some time. It is a good haircut. It was just startling to see it.
#3 is clearly my child. She just says things. When I suggested that perhaps my haircut was perhaps maybe just a little more extreme than I had expected, she said not to worry, that all hair cuts look better in about two weeks. That is the truth, perhaps more brutally put than might be good for business, but the truth none the less.
