It was time for a haircut. Lenny didn’t even have to look in the mirror.

Even though
he was going bald, he knew that he needed to cut his hair every two weeks.

He had a "tongue" of hair on the top of his head. His hair was thinning at the crown.
He still had plenty of hair on the sides and back. It was what they call "salt and pepper," a
mixture of gray hair and dark brown hair. It was only a few years, he figured, until the
salt and pepper became just salt.

He never let his hair grow for more than two weeks. The longer it got, the worse it
looked, he thought.

He spread a newspaper over the bathroom sink so that no hair went down the drain.
He plugged in the clippers and started cutting his hair. He started at the back of his head,
went to the sides, and finished on the top. Every minute or so, he had to clean the hair out
of the blades with an old toothbrush.

Finished, he picked up a hand mirror to check out the back of his head. Everything
looked okay. He carried the newspaper back out to the kitchen and shook the hair
clippings into the trash can.

Then he took a shower.
