BREAKING NEWS: Local long-haired dirty hippie libertarian Tom Grover gets missionary haircut!

After a full year with long hair, I decided to get my hair cut today.

Having long hair has been an experience.   It’s been fun to try something new, to get a reaction out of people and to have curly, long hair.

I’ve had people plead with me to cut it.

I’ve had someone insinuate behind my back that the length of my hair was an indication of a falling away from the LDS Church.    The person was serious, but the incident was funny.  We still laugh about it.
I’m pretty sure my long hair has kept me from getting a calling at Church, despite repeated requests to my Bishop for one (I’ll have to try again this Sunday).

My long hair has also been greeted and accepted by many.

It’s been a novelty.

A conversation piece.

A way to stand out.

I am very pleased with my past year of having long hair.

I would recommend that every guy have long hair at least once in life.  It’s great.

I went to work at the Radio Ranch this morning with long hair.  I left at 11:30, only telling Eric Frandsen that I was going to cut it.

Here’s my picture in the car on the way:

It was great fun to go back to work with the hair cut.   People were pretty shocked and it was good fun.   I didn’t tell my wife Karen about it, either.   She came down to Macey’s tonight to meet me at the end of KVNU’s Full Court Press and she literally dropped her jaw.

It was great to see her reaction.

So…. did you like my Hippie Hair or Missionary hair better?
