Boy are we RETIRED now...

Mike joined the army when he was 19.  It was the height of hippyville.  He wanted long hair, so he bought a short-hair wig (see photo below) to cover the long stuff.  He wanted to wear wacky clothes (after drill and at college) and he wanted to have facial hair (see mustache cut very short and damn, does it hurt when he kisses - oh wait, never mind.)  The other thing he really wanted was an earring.  But that was just impossible.  Until yesterday when his daughters bought him an aquamarine stud at the mall and gleefully watched it installed. BTW - he looks great!

Cheers!
