This evening, I experienced another first in married life: I cut Lincoln’s hair. There aren’t any pictures of the event, since no one else was there, but I don’t think he looks too bad. . . . Lincoln assures me I did a fine job. It took a long time, but Lincoln has very thick hair. We tried to use his electric beard trimmer at first, but it was too small and kept clogging. So we had to revert to the old standby: scissors. We don’t have any hair-cutting scissors, but I used a surplus pair of sewing scissors. Lincoln suggested his big office scissors, but my sewing scissors are much sharper and considerably less unwieldy.

At any rate, now Lincoln has short hair. And I didn’t completely mutilate him. :)
