Check it out! A Sandlin blog...
For several months, I have been checking in on Between Sundays, the blog maintained by the pastor of Southland Baptist Church in San Angelo, Texas. That pastor, Taylor Sandlin, is an excellent writer and an insightful Christian.
So today, after several months of reading the blog, I stumbled across a comment on "Between Sundays" (from August 20) that revealed that Taylor Sandlin is actually the brother of my former student/lookalike, Erick Sandlin. Who knew? I mean, besides the Sandlins and everyone who knows them, except me?
Right now I am sporting crazy-hair, one of the things I often had in common with Erick. However, I am getting a photo taken on Thursday (for the book), and am wondering if I should (1) Keep the hair as is; (2) Let Judge Manske cut it again, or (3) Actually pay a professional. What do you think?

You gotta let the judge do it. Think of it this way: if he messes it up worse than before, then he can lend you one of his wigs that he has to wear to court.....
The crazy hair is kind-of a trademark of Osler... gotta keep it for the portrait.

Keep it. Actually, I think the hair matters less than what you wear . . . are you going with the black-turtlenecked author look, or the tweed-jacketed professor look, or the denim-shirted look, or the lawyer look . . . probably too much to think about!

Keep the hair. PS--there is a kid (a fall 08 starter, I think) who actually looks more like you. His first name is Kevin. I don't know what his last name is; after I told him about the resemblance, he started introducing himself to people as "Kevin Osler".
Just don't hold a water bottle in the photo.

Professor,
Clearly, I vote for an encore performance of my first barber experience as a judicial officer. In support of this proposal, I am now an experienced judicial barber. I have cut one head of hair and quite well I might add. As I recall, the haircut was for your testimony before Congress. In reviewing the Congressional Record from that appearance, I note not less than 3 Congressmen who gave favorable opinions on your hair. I propose we cut your hair in a public place and charge 5.00 per person to watch (sort of like your Bates foosball thing) and donate the proceeds to your favorite charity. Naturally, each donee walks away with a lock of your hair. You game?

I dunno, everytime it gets cut it looks like a sad little shorn sheep. I say leave it. As with any critical dilemma, simply ask yourself: What Would Bates Do? You know the answer.
Thanks for the plug. I don't have an opinion about your hair but I know my mom likes Erick better with shorter hair.
The question is...
Will we have to buy the book to find out what happened to the hair?
Is it an identity crisis? your blog photo has been changing this week: dead President, dead Dictator and now a dead fast food restaurant from my youth. What next?

Bad memory ~ Mr. & Mrs. Fox and their 1970's eyeglasses. The image still haunts me!
