I got a haircut today.Please, no more applause.This was a bit of a milestone for me, not just because I needed one but also because I took the plunge and finally went to a new hair dresser. In a salon. Like, there were actually plants, decent music and faux-hardwood floors there. I'm used to going to one of those in-and-out ten-dollar jobbies.I am generally loyal to a hair dresser. I find that they are people with whom it's worth it to build a long-standing professional relationship. Even in the in-and-out ten dollar jobbies I always saw the same...

There are a number of firsts that dads and daughters celebrate together like the first steps, the first word and the first dance recital, but few of these momentous occasions measure up to the one my daughter and I recently shared at the Beverage Superstore in Suwanee. I'm talking of course about my ten-month-old daughter's first wine tasting.Oh, stop!I didn't actually let her taste anything, partially because she's ten months old but largely because these wines were all over $55 per bottle. I'm not wasting those libations on a kid whose pallet...

County workers are in my neighborhood this week ripping up and reinstalling slabs of the sidewalk that line my street. Somebody came through a few weeks ago saying they were going to be installing some kinda water lines or cables or something. I wasn't paying attention. For all I know they're probably looking for weapons of mass destruction.Damn you, Patriot Act!. Damn you!Anyway for a few days now one piece of the sidwalk in front of my house has been broken up into pieces so that these "county workers" could plant some sort of intelligence devices...

I take my wife's watch to be repaired at a local jewelry shop. It's one of those small strip mall boutiques you find sandwiched in between a grocery store and a Subway. A man I'm guessing is one of the owners stands outside smoking a cigarette as I walk in with my soon-to-be toddler in tow."It's open," he says in an undistinguishable accent and motions for me to go on in which I do.Immediately upon opening the door I can smell the incense burning in this place. It smells like a cross between chocolate chip cookies and Asian mysticism. To add...

Desperate to receive attention from outsiders and afford my child close proximity to other people her height I recently googled "at home parent groups Gwinnett." My plan was to locate a group of people who, like me, spend much of their waking hours contemplating the real nutritional value of Gerber Graduate Veggie Puffs and reading Pat the Bunny. Again.And again.My search led me to a new feature on the innerwebs descriptively called meetup.com. Specifically it's geared toward allowing like-minded people to get together based on personal interest....
