I just got home from the beauty shop where I had my hair and beard bleached. It did not come out as white as it has in the past. But I am not un happy with it.

I have two appearances this week. I will be attending an annual book expo in Salt Lake City Utah. Here Santa will meet book store owners who hopefully will be ordering large quantities of the latest production of The Night Before Christmas. The producers seem to think since I was the star Santa in the movie I am the right person to introduce it to the bookstore owners.

Any way back to Bleaching, I have been bleached six or seven times now. Last year I went in every six to eight weeks and only had to do the roots. As you can see my beard is almost completely white now but my hair is a reddish brown color. It has been five months since my last bleaching so it was a little more work to get my hair to match my beard. I seem to miss having blond hair as it grew out, and I always felt kind of funny having darker hair on top than on the ends and sides. I also grew my hair out last year down to my shoulders. I think I'll return more frequently to the beauty shop. I kind of like this looking like Santa Claus all year long.
