We've received some comments about the new hair cut, all very encouraging (join us, Jeff) and for that, I am very appreciative. Just for the record though, the cut was my own decision. I've wanted to cut the hair for quite some time, mainly to get more chicks to look a bit more respectable, particularly in my new job at Apple. Thanks to a little encouraging boost from someone at work, I put my foot down, and decided it was time.

What new job you ask? Well I can't tell yet, as I have signed some agreements not to talk about it, but I think I could reveal more on June 29th (If that's not a clue, then you haven't been looking at any news anywhere). I'm really excited about this, and hope for further advancement as well. The ponytail and long hair isn't a hindrance when in the tech field, but in my field now, and in the field I want to attain, it really is important to dress for the part you want to be a part of. Hair is hair, but a career that you can enjoy is so much more important.

So Heather, you asked one of the questions I was surprised about. That was pretty perceptive, and yeah, we went with a little color the day after the hair was cut. You wanna see? Sure ya do.

Alright.

So apparently the surf's up, Dude.

Well, yesterday, we did the dirty deed. NO, not THAT. The other sinful act that my mother has actually insisted on, in the past. We went to my friend Pam's hair salon, and asked her to chop off Scott's hair.



For almost the entire time I've known him, he's looked like this. I'd seen pictures of him in his early twenties with shorter hair, but that was a late 80s hair style, and yeah, you get the idea...It looked like a 20 year old, with a fashioned hair style, set in the late 80s.



So, today he actually had it cut off. The pony tail will be mailed to Locks Of Love sometime this coming week.





And the end results? Pam and I think that Richard Gere is going to have to move over.
There's a new man in town .



This one's for Mom. So, what do the rest of you all think?

From the New Yorker online: The Wisdom of Children

A Conversation at the Grown-ups' Table, as Imagined at the Kids’ Table
 
MOM: Pass the wine, please. I want to become crazy.
DAD: O.K.
GRANDMOTHER: Did you see the politics? It made me angry.
DAD: Me, too. When it was over, I had sex.
UNCLE: I’m having sex right now.
DAD: We all are.
MOM: Let’s talk about which kid I like the best.
DAD: (laughing) You know, but you won’t tell.
MOM: If they ask me again, I might tell.
FRIEND FROM WORK: Hey, guess what! My voice is pretty loud!
DAD: (laughing) There are actual monsters in the world, but when my kids ask I pretend like there aren’t.
MOM: I’m angry! I’m angry all of a sudden!
DAD: I’m angry, too! We’re angry at each other!
MOM: Now everything is fine.
DAD: We just saw the PG-13 movie. It was so good.
MOM: There was a big sex.
FRIEND FROM WORK: I am the loudest! I am the loudest!
(Everybody laughs.)
MOM: I had a lot of wine, and now I’m crazy!
GRANDFATHER: Hey, do you guys know what God looks like?
ALL: Yes.
GRANDFATHER: Don’t tell the kids.



Happy Father's Day everyone.

So this may or may not need explanation, but I'll do it anyhow.

Somewhere, somehow, Cady picked up on what skating was. Now, I still think she doesn't understand ice as anything other than that which comes out of the refrigerator, but she definitely understands skating. Somehow she also decided that Mommy and Daddy's socks make great skates. Well, the rest below will cover the rest. Feel welcome to enjoy. Music by Adrian Belew.

Don't read too much into it (i.e. Made in China, etc..) We were just putting Mommy's new desk together, and I thought it would be fun. Cady loves the stickers, and we had fun enjoying the concept.
