POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

COMING THIS SATURDAY!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

The Mother of all Haircuts!!!!!

Well boys and girls, you've had to read enough nose wrinkling and head tipping (whoops, that's me, sorry) heart concerning narratives about recovery and such and, well, everything is terrific so ... THE FIRST HAIRCUT IN FIVE MONTHS!!!

Yes, ladies and germs, I have made an appointment tomorrow with a classical and top of the line male cutters called Shaving Grace! One of the owners will be my snapper, which will also include a straight razor shave and facial treatment (lot's of really, really cool pre and post shave ointments, mmmmmm), ear cleaning (yea, baby!) and then ... the complicated haircut decision.

Here's the deal. I'm not in a position that many head cancer patients (and many, many other cancer patients) have to deal with. Because the Radiation shots were so focused I have a rather strange looking head. About 3/4's of my skull  has longer, curly hair. The other quarter, mostly on the left temple, has shorter, grayer and thinner hair, including a partial, semi created thinning on parts of the left top skull region over the left temple. I looked at it closely and spent some time deeply thinking as to what I could do to balance out the follicles.

My conclusion? Not a freakin' clue!

Thus I called the top of the line male cutters and said I was turning over my head (OK, OK, my hair!) to them to suggest the first, decent haircut, completely convinced that it will require a double cut, the next one in 4-6 weeks. Whatever. This place has free tapped beer (which I cannot yet drink,) a beautiful antique pool table and big screens with sports. I trust these guys completely and will also give them the OK, if they are interested, in using my head as an advertising prospect, free of charge.

So sometime soon I will send over a delightful and sighing narrative as to CUTTING THE CANCER HAIR! Quite possibly it will end up as a Tennessee folk song in G Minor ...with a kick-assed acoustic guitar lead.

There have been some ... um ... interesting suggestions:

Dan Collins: "I'd say, layer it, and start experimenting with Grecian Formula." (Sorry, Dan. My insurance only allows a Moroccan Formula.)

g-man: "I’ll pay for the manicure and pedicure if you’d like!" (Well that's swell but no one will offer an eyeliner. *sigh*)

enoch_root: "You're not going to get a brazillian as well are you?" (Mozambican ... or Harry Potterism ... whichever is a good excuse for a lopsided look.)

More to come!!
