hi. i'm don.

I got my hair cut yesterday.

Today at work, no fewer than five people have remarked on this fact in the 20 minutes I've been here. They all speak as though getting one's hair cut was a major achievement, something of which to be proud, a huge outlay of effort worthy of repeated mention.

I've never worked in a place where such things were noted for men much at all, and certainly not to the extent they are here.
