I guess I'm being unfriendly, but now I prefer the chain, walk-in haircutting places, too. I'm not tied to a particular hairdresser. What I come out like ranges from "It'll grow out again" to "Great! I love it!" Maybe at some point I'll find a regular hairdresser who I like and who does a great job, but right now I'm just glad to get the head hairs snipped shorter from time to time.

Changing the subject, I think someone here (in the Books thread) mentioned Relic by Lincoln and Child as a great book. At any rate, thank you! It was wonderful--but now I'm addicted to the Pendergast series, which only consists of over 20 books! So, you all know what I'll be doing in the next few months--reading them one after the other!

Hubby and I are heading to the U.S. Capitol to see the fireworks and visit with our second son. I just hope there will not be some sort of riot, demonstration, bombing, or whatever while I'm there. Our son lives within walking distance of the White House.
