Criminality
For those of you who have not seen me since June 27 last, my appearance has undergone three changes.
First, I've not cut my hair since then. Oh, I get it tidied up a bit ever six weeks or so but no cutting of length is allowed. I still cannot do a real ponytail but we'll get there before Christmas.
Second, my beard is now officially a beard. I got it shaped last Thursday and it looks like it's going to be a Kenny Rodgers kind of beard for a few more months.
Third, there's a lot less of me than the last time you saw me. About 15% less, to be exact. No, I don't have a tumor but I have been eating healthy of late and the pounds have been melting away. The only significant changes in my diet are a reduction in the intake of simple sugars and an increase in the intake of fruits and vegetables. That, and a reduction in the total mass of all intakes. You want to make sure that you die healthy, don't you know?
There is, however, a criminal aspect to all this weight reduction. My pants, you see, keep falling off! It's true. If I wear a pair of jeans without a belt, the next thing you know, they will have slid off my hips and be hanging around my ankles. And, the Sparta constabulary frown on people walking about town in their underwear. Not that there is anything exactly illegal about walking around in with your pants down around your ankles but it might not give visitors to the Teapot Museum a good impression of Sparta. So, when I go into town, I make sure that I'm wearing a belt or else I might make the front page of next week's Alleghany News.
Time for lunch and a snooze.
