Karen had me do the #1 (1/8") buzz cut this afternoon. No picture this time, at least yet. The next time you see her, she will either look like a militant environmental Swedish volunteer for Medecins Sans Frontieres somewhere deep in jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo, or a blonder, Rachel Welchier version of herself, depending on the peckishness of her mood.
Our cat, Smoke, is now the official long-hair of the house.

Picture notes: This is Smoke, who was 19 at the time, and passed away the next spring. He was a comfort to us both all through Karen’s treatment, as were his two cohorts, Pristina (who died suddenly the following fall) and Samarra (who is still with us). Many days that Karen was home, he would curl up on her. Fortunately, he remained relatively healthy during Karen’s treatment, all the way through our trip to Dragon*Con. It would have crushed Karen if he’d died while she was in treatment.
