Last fall one of my friends remarked to me, "You know Phil you got some quirks!"
He would be correct if I were in any other profession, but I am a professor. Quirks to other folk are just normality to us. We get paid to be quirky, so it isn't really genuine quirkiness.
I will admit to one little quirk however. I am particular about my hair. My dad cut my hair as a professional barber until I went off to the Naval Academy.
I am so particular about my hair that I only use one barber now, ever. In fact I have to time my haircuts around my travels because I am not going to let some foreigner stranger take a whack at these locks.
Having passed more time in Sweden, and now in Africa than I usually can between haircuts, I decided to fly in my barber. I know that sounds extravagant, and I guess it is, but like I said, I do have that one quirk. Besides, I save enough money buying my clothes at Goodwill, and never buying soda pop at restaurants.
I managed to get a photo of my barber, and here she is:
