It's really a bit sooner than I normally would get a haircut, but because I'm leaving Monday and I did think I was somewhat at loose ends, I stopped by my regular barber's shop on the way to work and got a trim. He charges $16 for a haircut and I usually leave a couple of extra dollars as well. Imagine my embarrassment when I opened my wallet and found only $15 cash. Huh? I'd obviously lost track of what I'd been spending. He told me it was okay and to not worry about it. As I slunk out of the shop, I realized that in my pocket full of change, I had $3 in quarters left over from playing pinball last weekend. I went back and gave him the $3 and felt less like a deadbeat.

Now to go through my receipts and see if I can figure out what I spent that I forgot about.

Happy Birthday, Kevin. Maybe if you're very good, Rachel Bloom will write a song in tribute to you. :)

You're a decent guy, Kevin. Very few people, I think, would have remembered that guy makes his entire living by the cash in hand. I always try to be as good as possible to barbers, cab drivers, and waitpersons for just that reason, and it heartens to see someone else who feels the same way.

Happy Birthday, my good man.
