Who's that dude in the mirror? [View all]

Well, I done did it. I cut off all my hair. It's surreal. I have this minds eye image of myself after having long hair for 20+ years and then I look in the mirror and freak myself out.

Working from home and Covid....It's been staying in a ponytail and it was just so fried. Broken/split ends. Figured it was time to start over from scratch. Went military short. It's been a surprise. Damn it's cold! Fortunately it'll grow back!
