15 months of social distancing and there started to build a certain amount of friendly pressure among my circle of local friends. Soooo, with their encouragement and in total agreement, this morning I visited なおみin her beautiful rustic setting located in ...  

Enjoy!😊

the transformation took around 30 minutes including the usual treatments that accompany a haircut in Japan ;-) Casey

...even as a nearly bald guy, Nakajima-san always did a terrific job, and in about thirty minutes. 2,000 yen, no tip : )

it's always so confusing to figure out the appropriate amount to tip when traveling... Casey

I remember having that length of hair when I was a teenager. Looking very spruce afterward.

It was the late 60s all over again... I felt like cracking open an old copy of "Narziß und Goldmund" (1930) by Hermann Hesse and going back on the road... the feeling only lasted a few minutes ;-) Casey

I did something similarly drastic when I was 18! My daughter cuts my hair nowadays, which is always a cool moment together

Time and priorities change... beautiful father daughter moment... Casey

to donate for medical patient wigs... Casey

given another 15 months I will be back in business... ;-) Casey

From Mae West to Cary Grant in under an hour! Regards Kev.

It can be challenging to find a good hair stylist ... use to call them barbers and as a kid in the 50s it was USD 0.25 for a child's cut ;-) Casey

It was a fun and thought provoking journey ... Casey

unfortunately I was shedding like a yak ;-) Casey

normalcy is an interesting concept...

at the moment I am enjoying the "after" situation... Casey

but as an amateur student of history... fortune favors the ______

In some ways I feel like Arnold... I am back ;-)

here in Nagano Prefecture... being a 'rock star' is hard work ;-) Casey

Casey...

I am due for a similar day of reckoning; 14 months of growth may fall on the barber’s floor very soon.

It seemed to be a bigger deal for my friends ;-) For me it made sense to include Naomi in the B&A shots. Just used the smart phone, but it was planned ahead. Casey

you look better on the left.......

Please let me know what your family thinks of the change ;-) Casey

start having experimenting with my hair every 2-3 months. Since beginning of the pandemic, my wife ask me to keep my hair long but I decided not since my girl out of no where able to trim my hair nicely, so I am lucky having a personal hair dresser

Looking forward to seeing you and the family again soon... Casey

to that day.....now seems 2022.....

you may have lost your strength, but you look very good 👍

and the thing is I am a bit more energized at the moment... go figure. Change can be positive... Casey

most of the time it's family, but we do love our tangents ;-) Casey
