I got my first haircut in just under a year last week. Technically, about a year ago this week I got ALL my hair cut off. Just before heading back to the hospital to have the shape of my head returned to semi-normal. Well, it's semi-normal again - and has stayed that way for almost a year now.

A few weeks ago I realized that I (literally) had a screw loose. I made 3 people listen to my forehead while I clicked it around in my skull before it stopped moving altogether. It's quite a thing to share something that personal with someone else. How many times have you actually heard the mechanicals in someone elses head?

At any rate - thank you Tanya, Pablo and Nikki for listening to my head.
