Beth’s haircut is simply horrible. It’s so sad when women chop off pretty long hair. Usually makes ‘em look lots older, and sometimes less feminine. Tom

I love my hair! It is so easy to take care of which is good when you have two little boys at home. I plan on leaving my hair short for a while or at least until the boys get out of the grabbing my hair and pulling it stage. I love it. I know long hair is better in most men’s eyes but I like it. Short Hair is making my scalp issues better so deal with it! Heeeheee

When I said that I touched the photograph up a bit, I mean that I spent half an hour adjusting the balance, setting the background and generally making Beth look a little bitter. (Yes, I mean bItter and not bEtter.)

looks ok to me (but I also prefer long hair) – the picture does look like a drivers licence or passport photo though.

Beth likes the haircut … for now. I am the one who does not like the new hairstyle. I told her not to smile for the picture, and touched the photograph up a bit before posting.

I was following the advice of Emily Dickinson by telling the truth, but telling it at a slant. I am quite sure that she did not mean that in this context, but it works for me so I am sticking to my interpretation.

I hope it is not an indication of how she feels about the haircut that she is not smiling for the picture.

Your father’s solution to a bad haircut was always to put his arms around me and tell me it would grow out. I always thought that was diplomatic.
