It was time.

It was definitely time.

But August did not agree.

Until he embraced that age-old adage…

…if you can’t beat them, join them.

I cannot blame him for his skepticism.

Some changes are hard to embrace.

But most of the time, upon further reflection, a new take on things is not so bad.

At least not for the little guy.

I’m still smarting over the loss of those beautiful locks.

Every haircut seems to propel him forward in time and space into a fuller, older version of himself.

Addition by subtraction, as they say.
