Point - Counterpoint

Life is never dull, when you are around teens. A few weeks back our granddaughter Kristie's mate, Brandon, mentioned that he was letting his hair grow long. With today's "buzz cut", that means anything over a quarter of an inch of hair, on a male, is considered - shaggy. He looked at my freshly cut white hair and said, "You should let your hair grow long"! I kind of took it as a statement alluding to the likelihood that my current look was pretty much a look that I was born with - at least to the eye of a teenager. My wife decided to contribute to the conversation by revealing that... "Richard once had an Afro"! Brandon said, "No Way!! I said, "Way"!! So... I proceeded to show him the picture that can be seen at the bottom of this blog page. End of discussion! No, it's not a wig! These teens, so little imagination when it comes to us "Boomers". I often wonder if they have any idea of all that went on during the magical sixties and seventies.
