Ugh, I was anonymous above and obviously not awake yet. Here’s what I meant to type:

Ross – I’m pretty sure Fun Home is out in paperback already.

Happy reading!

It’s the second wave of sports physicals at our clinic (B-ball, wrestling, volleyball).

Not one. Not two. Not three. But four, yes four high school guys and one high school girl were all sporting your very haircut this week.

I don’t know what you’ll make of that. None of them rock it with quite the panache you bring to it.

Savoring the last pages of “Essential” and am trying to get my book club to read “Fun Home”. They want to wait for the paperback. Sorry! I know authors hate to hear that.

Hope your tour goes well

I can only see Phranc now with a parrot on her shoulder. She’s frickin’ awesome.

Hey,kris dresen! Thank you so much for coming. It was very lovely to make fleeting eye contact with you.

Re: barbers and eyeglasses, Albert very graciously offered me my glasses before showing me the back of my head in the mirror.

I will also chime in to say the Chicago event was great. The crowd was fantastic.I would have said hello but I didn’t want to take a place in line for someone who wanted to get a book signed. It was a swell evening. Come back again and talk to us more soon!

@noominal: Yes, the disoriented fear to be read on one’s face when the spectacles are set aside, the helplessness: I can not shape what is being done to me. Then, resignation. And acceptance.

When the barber holds up the mirror to let you see the nape of your neck, the nod and smile. Seven quid, put out a tenner, push a pound coin across the counter back at him whilst picking up two. Shrug on the jacket, the clippings itching their way under the shirt-collar. Then, in the street, the chill across the unthatched temples, and the relief when no one looks just that little bit too long, that “Should I ring to see if any of the inmates has been missed at roll-call?” too long, at one’s new do.

Gelett Burgess, I think:

For beauty I’m not a great star
There are others more handsome by far
But my face, I don’t mind it
For I am behind it
It’s the people in front that I jar.
