I realize now the title has two purposes. First, I cut my own hair tonight. Yes, yes, I know, you are saying "hair?" - but there is some that grows and needs to be trimmed upon occasion. It was rather easier than I thought it would be. Trimming my neck is the hardest part and I've been doing that for a long time.
Tonight also marks the end of out of town visitors for a while. Its nice to have things peaceful again (not that I didn't enjoy the company). One forgets what its like to have nobody there to talk with, no TV on, just the quiet hum of computer fans.
