Well, the stay-at-home thing is working pretty well for me these days. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve worked from home most of the time, but I do go into the studio at our headquarters to shoot videos as needed. The only fly in the ointment has been getting a haircut. Now I know many of you would like to have this problem (perspective is important), but while I have a good bit of hair left on my head, as it gets whiter it becomes more unruly. Never one to be paralyzed by a problem, I bravely took my beard-trimming tool to my hoary head. The result was not great — but in the regions of my head that I could see in the mirror there was improvement. Regarding the back of my head, where I could neither see nor reach it well, I didn’t trim at all. The bottom line has resulted in, well, you might have guessed by the title of this editorial: business up front, party in the back. Welcome to March Mullet Madness in April!
Compared to other problems in the world, this is a small one. And while I have many poor character traits, vanity is not one of them. This too will pass, and hair will grow back. (On some of us, at least.)
