Ok, it was time for that 'dang hippie' to loose some of that hair...

...so, out come the scissors, just before getting on the ferry as I'm leaving GTMO

In Case you're wondering what I'm thinking... I've just given someone a sharp implement to use on my hair... I can't believe I actually gave her those sisscors!

As folks start to realize what's happening...

also, notice where the scissors start...

Ok, this isn't too painful.

and where she starts cutting...

...the crowd starts to gather around...

 
 
  My God, leave some hair back there!
...and some other students get a good laugh...
 
 
...and still more people watch, as the last of the tail succumbs to the shears...
That was a LOT of hair hanging off the back of my head (with thanks, of course to the operator, photog, and family). That was a LOT of hair!

To all of you who helped me stay sane and made GTMO the BEST school I've taught for and GTMO the BEST assignment in nearly 30 years of federal service...

I cannot say Thank-You in enough languages or enough times!
