Strange Days Indeed

Two things! One is something which I rarely do, and one is something I haven't done in I-don't-know-when. First one is I went running, jogging. I'm no raramura, but I put in a little effort - part of an overall attempt at regaining some speed and power and agility (as if I had a lot of that before) in my movements. The second thing was I made an appointment to get my haircut. An appointment! I know some people do that all the time - but to me getting a haircut entails walking into the barbershop, waiting your turn, talking sports or politics, looking through magazines, etc. And then when its your turn, the barber cuts your hair. But I made a mistake - I went to a different place (for various reasons. none great). When I walked in the "barber" said "Hi, you have an appointment right?" I was like "Do I need one?" He said yea, so I said o.k. and the next thing I know I had to come back in two hours...Well, I did and finally got my hair cut. It wasn't the haven of male might I'm used to for the occassion. And it was fine in the long run, but being the only one present other than the "barber" and having him wash your hair as part of the process on a slow Sunday afternoon...
