What a Difference a Haircut and New Eyeglasses Make...

Comic comparison of lifelike reconstruction of Neanderthal man to a photo of me..  This week I'm trying to catch up on stuff that's been neglected, needs tending, or needs to be made ship-shape. I got most of that stuff done. Then I decided that it's time to pay a little attention to myself and maybe get a haircut, and get to the optometrist's for some long-overdue new glasses, and that would get me almost up to date.

. Women try out a new look from time to time by getting a different 'do. It can make for quite a change in appearance.
But you know, a haircut can make a similar radical change in a man's appearance as well. Here are pictures of me "before" and "after" my haircut at the shop of my friendly French barber, Richard Dumont, today. What a difference a haircut, mustache trim, and a change of pants can make!
. Treating myself to these things seems to have boosted my confidence, and lifted my spirits, as I automatically stood up straighter afterwards. You can see the positive change in my posture. In fact I'd swear it also made my head look smaller!
