Plans for Next Summer

I found this article while surfing around Google News today and now I have to start making travel plans for next summer:

In pictures: Redheads celebrate fiery locks at Dutch festival

Sign me right the hell up, right now! A festival for red heads? Red Head Days! My people are gathering en masse! I need to be a part of this! It doesn’t matter that my step daughter did a study abroad program in The Netherlands and hearing about her travels has made me want to visit the country (and pretty much all of Western Europe). I would want to travel to this festival even if it was held in a condemned parking garage in Cleveland.

I need to be counted among the festival-goers! I need to celebrate my red headedness with my red headed brothers and sisters! What a joyous thrill this would be! I am so excited!

Sign! Me! Up!!!

Whadaya Think

So I’m losing weight, right? Some people who go through weight loss surgery experience hair loss as a side effect. I haven’t seen any sign of that yet.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that the weight loss continues and the hair stays put. Should I let my hair grow super hippy long again, like it was in my 20’s? I mean, if I’m already going to look like a different person, should I just go all in?

My hair isn’t going to be red for much longer… should I enjoy it while I have it and then have it already be stupid when the change passes the red/white tipping point?

Someone needs to think of these things, right?
