It had been about 18 months since I had my hair cut. COVID kept me inside and away from people, but even after I was vaccinated, I limited my forays into the real world. It wasnât only not getting my hair cut: I worked from home and rarely went anywhere in the past two years. And when I did venture out, driving was a novel experience; I had to re-learn some basic techniques that kept my car on the right side of the road.
Rev. Jeff Briere, Community Voices
I hadnât gone out much because I am a card-carrying member of one of those more vulnerable populations that COVID was sure to take out. But the aging hippie look would not befit this minister at a retirement party being thrown in my honor. I knew I had to look good in front of my friends and colleagues. So off I went to get a haircut.
