Cut it Short

Big news from my favorite morning program, The Today Show: Ann Curry is finally getting a haircut (see November 3 post)! But she's not getting a haircut the same way you and I would -- make the appointment, get the cut, stop at the supermarket on the way home. Her cut will be a big production because she's donating her locks to one of the organizations that turn human hair into wigs for cancer patients and others. It's great that she's calling attention to the work of these groups, but what if she inspires other network newsreaders to do the same thing? Looking at all that too-long hair will drive us nuts, especially if Charlie Gibson jumps on the "Locks for Love" bandwagon.
