Cut to the Weekend
Have a good weekend everyone. I doubt I'll be gazing at the computer much, since weekends are mostly spent gazing at my son. On tap for tomorrow: first professonal haircut! (I'm not planning on having his hair regularly cut professionally - but I wanted to get it done once while I watched so I could get an idea of how to do it myself (read: for free). I've tried cutting his hair...poor kid).
Here's to good haircuts and weekends.
p.s. if you're anywhere near Portland on Monday...Mean, Lean Howard Dean will be back!! (dragging that other guy with him)--see you there!
