Jimmy Gets A Haircut From His Son Bruce Wood
Over the weekend I bought seven new suits, including a seersucker from Brooks Brothers. My Dad, James (Jimmy) Wood was amused by the haul, since he hardly ever sees me dressed up.
This morning he asked me to give him a haircut (one of the many skills I learned to save money during college), so we played “Barber Shop.” I surprised him by wearing the seersucker, and he played along, pretending he was in a barber chair. We had a good time, but he didn’t give me a tip!
Afterward, he was ready for a movie, so I popped The Great Escape into his VCR and gave him his usual “setup” of Gatorade and chocolate candy.
Now I’m in my normal business suit (T-shirt, shorts & flip-flops) and tapping out this blog from his dining-room table, which has become my “office” while I take care of him.
