I would sit back and let the old man nibble away at my retreating hairline, happy to see that he had even less hair then me. I would look at the faded old pictures of Cuba and share a nostalgic fantasy of getting my haircut in the hayday of a Havana I had never been to.<br /><br />One day I entered and an old man sat withered in a corner, motionless. Then suddenly a sprightly young 40 something female "hair dresser" appeared and asked how I would like my hair styled today. I was too shocked to run for the door so I let her "style" my few hairs and attempt small talk. She chatted about modern things like telephones and automobiles and she new all the new names of countries like Zimbabwe. <br />I felt as if I had picked up my favourite old classic novel and somebody had replaced it with a contemporary Disneyfied version.<br />All the while the old man sat motionless. I missed his wordless laboured breathing. He missed his business partner and times forgotten. I was painfully reminded that change, and death come for us all.<br /><br />After that, I never returned to Cuba or that barber shop.<br /><br />Thank you for your blog, Bongi.Amanzi Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235667869792256049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-81124522644446004232010-09-08T18:09:50.728+02:002010-09-08T18:09:50.728+02:00Pffft purplesque, good luck with that ... pictures...Pffft purplesque, good luck with that ... pictures of Bongi are scarcer than pictures of me!!Jabulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847825459654555235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-75485063152008160532010-09-08T14:28:51.783+02:002010-09-08T14:28:51.783+02:00What Ramona said- we need pictures of the haircut!...What Ramona said- we need pictures of the haircut!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-40434605692588696012010-09-08T00:49:16.539+02:002010-09-08T00:49:16.539+02:00Bongi, no.

When I first met my husband, he loyally got Granddad to cut his hair. One day when we visited, we noticed several nicks on Granddad's face. Grammy told us that he was struggling to shave with his open razor nowadays what with him not being able to see very much anymore. I confess I chuckled when hubby's next haircut was at the barber's in town. And the following one ...Jabulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847825459654555235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-11892554783778037462010-09-07T22:40:12.848+02:002010-09-07T22:40:12.848+02:00Obviously you lived to tell the tale, but still, w...Obviously you lived to tell the tale, but still, were any vital organs damaged?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217783969690894498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-16745419782202522002010-09-07T21:45:17.408+02:002010-09-07T21:45:17.408+02:00lq2m and wondering how the haircut turned out. :)...lq2m and wondering how the haircut turned out. :)rlbateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236331355857884458noreply@blogger.com
