Back in the Saddle
I'm not sure what I can say. Robbi has said it all. I am an unattractive man with bad hair and suspect dance moves. I have spent the day moping around the house, wondering what I can do to to salvage my moribund relationship. I dug down deep. I searched my soul. What could I do to acquit myself to Robbi? Learning to dance better was out of the question. Some things just aren't possible. Her other complaint seemed to be about my appearance, over which I have some minor control. The genetics that define my round midwestern face and bulging midwestern underchin are incurable. But the hair. The hair, I reflected, had gotten a bit, shall we say, wild of late. Reflecting back, I realized that I had not cut the hair since leaving Baltimore in August. I looked into the mirror.
I saw a desparate man in need of help.
And so I made the only choice I could. I parted ways with the flowing locks that had become a living symbol of my freedom.
And I must say...
I cannot regret the decision. Nor did Robbi. She suddenly upgraded my status from "failing" to "adequate." I am on a kind of open-ended probation. It has been made clear that I ought not get too comfortable, that I am subject for review at any time.
Stay tuned for a soon-to-be-posted entry on my recent adventures in Kentucky, where I spent most of the past week watching the first two rounds of the men's NCAA college basketball tournament with my dad and my friend J.T.
I ate a lot of really tasty food in Kentucky and photographed all of it. Here is a preview of a Kentucky specialty, the Hot Brown. I did not eat the Hot Brown (which consists of turkey, cheese, bacon, cheese, cheese, bacon, and cheese). J.T.'s mom did. But golly, does it look tasty.
In describing the various meals I had in Kentucky, I resolve to reach new depths of tedium. To spite Robbi anew now that she has decided to keep me.

I'm not sure which is better. The long hair picture looks like you just got out on parole, but the short hair picture looks like you just got expelled from a boy band.
Congrats on getting back in Robbi's good graces. :)
