THANK YOU KIRK


I thought of several possible titles for this entry; "Sorry again, Kathleen," or "Be careful what you ask for" came to mind. "Cue Ball" might have worked. "Oops" would have been appropriate also.

Nice Friday night at the Pokrinchak/Guastelo abode. We got the pool covered, had some pizza, then Kirk stepped up to the plate. A family event; Pop gets his first post retirement haircut.The pictures tell the story. Suffice to say an equpment malfunction occurred.
The circle of life continues. The same clippers I used to cut my father's hair, took a detour thru the middle of my head. A shorter 'do than planned; definitely low maintenance.
So, sincere thanks to Kirk for giving it your best effort. You'll get another chance in 6 weeks, but please don't quit your day job.

  1. Jim,

    It looks good. That bald spot will fill in soon. Can you notice it from the side, because from the front it looks great!!!

  3. You got a big belly laugh out of me with this one.

    No worries...it will only be those taller than you who will see the "oops."

  4. EVERYONE is taller than me!
    On the bright side, I only used a drop of shampoo today. I'm putting my combs on E Bay.

  6. I don't know how to day this without sounding mean, but I'll just go ahead and say it. The pictures don't tell the whole story. It's bad. It's very bad. It's going to take some getting used to it.

  7. Julie - Kirk and I appreciate your support. (Still, I have to agree, the pictures don't tell the whole story.) At least I won't be around to embarass you for several weeks.
    I think I'll get a tattoo down in Florida.
    Love always - Dad

  8. The flippin' attachment fell off!

    The wine had absolutely nothing to do with it!

  9. I don't know? The rule is NEVER
    drink when you are cutting hair!!!
    (Not that that always makes a
    difference!)

  10. Mr. G-

    I think this was a sign that you should have listened to Kathleen.

  11. I actually think it looks really good! And, familiar. My brother actually gave *me* this haircut once (same story about the attachment "falling off") and I can definitely say that it looks much better on you than it did on me.

  12. How could you allow this to happen... You don't look like a mob boss any more. you look like Jimbo; Pop; Geeg's husband.
