She wasn’t happy with the Mike we all knew and loved?

Typical woman. “You’re perfect. Now change”.

Could have been worse. It could have been a “Flock of Seagulls” haircut.

Man, makes me want to put on the Members Only jacket and parachute pants again,,,

I love it!

When I first met my wife, she convinced me to cut my hair short and to trim my mustaches and goatee down to ( in my eyes ) practically nothing. I didn’t object – after all, this wasn’t my first rodeo !Needless to say, bit by but, as time went on, the mustache and beard got a bit thicker and the hair a bit longer.She has now decided that I look really good in long ( grey ) hair and a full white beard. – the Santa look.Again, I am saying nothing . I know that eventually, this too. will change, according to her whims and fancies. I’m too old to care, so long as she’s happy, although I do think that husbands become like furniture that wives obsessively rearrange occasionally.

The 80’s. Blech. Ugh. Retch.

The good thing about that ‘do is that Mike could keep it into the 20-teens. If only he didn’t get any older.

Shouldn’t that haircut count as spousal abuse?

He reminds me of Jughead.

These days, any hair is good hair.

I talked my then-bf into getting a “modern” cut way back then. He hated it and I loved it. But you know you gotta keep after those things and it wasn’t long before he was sporting his usual scraggly shoulder-length hippie-style ’do. And forever after, every time he said he liked my hair, I got it chopped off in a boy-cut. Karma can be a real bitch, just like me. ;)

Actually I think Mike looks pretty good with that new haircut. That could be because I’m looking from a 30-years-in-the-future perspective.

What do you mean “did” ?

I think I still have my Members Only jacket, somewhere.If you are calling ‘cargo’ pants and shorts ( man’s best friend in the pants department because of pockets and fit ) parachute pants , why you certainly don’t live near me. Apart from the ubiquitous blue jeans, cargo pants and shorts are the going men’s attire around here.

We don’t do style – we do comfort !

I still wish my hair could look that good…

And those hang-on-the-nose spectacles are straight from the 1880s.

Mike—just remember: the hair WILL grow back!

Might be the only sensible thing this girl has done.
