Blue-Gold 2011, Dateline: Thursday

Went to Armando’s this morning (and yes-my hair is now perfect). Missed Coach Kelly since he had his hair styled on Tuesday. But it was like “team day” with Aaron Lynch, Darius Fleming, Manti T’eo and young Eilar Hardy (4* D-back from Ohio) all getting their cuts for the Blue-Gold Game this weekend. Manti is proud to live in Dillon. I asked him if he knew the fight song. He said…

Every memorable home game begins with a trip to the “stylist to the stars” and the man who “Cuts like a Champion”—coiffure extraordinaire Armando. Heading to Armando’s on Thursday, I was a bit superstitious for the fact that many…

And his hair became perfect (11/11/10)

So after 4 weeks, I came back to Armando’s this morning. He was horrified and blurted, “Jeff…what is that on top of your head?!?” Armando chopped and styled and brought me back to perfection. Afterwards, he exclaimed, “Jeff…that was 3 pounds of hair on your skull. Gone now!” And as it should always be…”His hair is perfect.” Before After THE END.
