I got a spring haircut over the weekend-- it had been a while, and although it was Michael  Douglas long and looking okay a month ago when I was on the Left Coast it had become a bother. "Take out the clippers and take it down." I told the stylist, and less than ten minutes later I was shorn.  "That's quite a change," she said.  "Now people will stop crossing the street when they see you."

Now that I think back on it, I'm pretty sure I over-tipped her.
