It is a good thing I have my brand spankin’ new Buc-ee hat. A real good thing. I am now sportin’ the absolutely most horrible haircut I have ever had in my life. I have worn the new Buc-ee hat every waking hour since 10:25 a.m. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. To learn of the legend of the Buc-ee hat see blog entry of 6.20.07. I will be wearing the hat for just a while longer. I’m 43 years old. I still have a full head of hair. I should just shut up now. But… wow I am a sorry sight with this lame excuse of a not flat top. The sides of the cut are different from one another. The top is not flat. The front edge rounds down (my absolute least favorite element). The front edge is sloped. Any regular reader of this blog or attendee at my shows knows I get my hair cut every week. When I am home Roy is my guy. Roy is a talented master barber with over 40 year’s experience. Roy works slowly and methodically. Roy has never turned out anything less than tonsorial perfection. Could it be that I am just spoiled? I do not think so. Roy gets $14 for a cut and I give him an $20 and he appreciates keeping the change. This cut was $7. If I could turn the clock back I would give this guy $7… and the rest of the $20 bill NOT to cut my hair. It is not just that this haircut is NOT what I asked for. I have had a number of technically excellent haircuts that just were not what I wanted. This one is not only NOT what I wanted… it is a technical train wreck.
