You know, I love long hair on a man. Grown-up Jesus had long hair...


So you have all witness the BEFORE, now behold the magnificence and transformative beauty of the AFTER!

I must give great credit to the proud and dignified conduct of my oldest baby, Henry [despite what he says, he'll always be my baby] upon getting his hair cut yesterday evening. He was tremendous. I hope that his keen supporters based in the subcontinent don't feel too let down by his neater appearance. Don't worry ladies, it won't last for long!

Anyway, I have a whole bank of photos left to post, so we'll be seeing long haired Henry for a little while yet...

Heh -- my "baby" is now 6' 3" tall. You are right, he will always be the "baby"!

ITR,M, my baby is nigh on one metre and not even three yet. I'm 6' 4", but reckon Henry will be towering over me by age 13.

And he'll still me my baby!

I love the new look! I am no fan of long hair or boys... call me traditional, but i like the neat cropped look! He looks so dashing and now we can see his eyes too :D

A very handsome fellow you have there indeed. Thank you for visiting our blog.
We will to be seeing you again.
Sarah said…
In both models he is cute!
Roddy said…
Doesn't he look so grown up?
The long hair will come and go I'm sure. Only time and Henry will determine the length of time and hair. Enjoy him whichever way he is. Unfortunately they aren't young for long enough.
You my boy are still my baby, as your brother is my oldest baby.
Do I sound melancholy?
Dina said…
Great!
I wonder if boys feel older when they suddenly look older.
Can't wait to see my Los Angeles grandson with short hair for the first time.
Kris, are you really 6'4??
lemon said…
Ohhh, he looks much more handsome with this haircut (and this smile, also!!)!
yamini said…
Hi Henry, you are looking neat and clean!!!

But my vote still goes for the long-haired Henry, though, considering the necessity of a clearer vision for the child, I would forgive you Kris for taking him to the hairdresser.

But I would be waiting for the long-haired look to be back.

He looks older now .... My son never wants to have his hair cut ;)

Again
I want a shirt just like Henry's.
Sue said…
He looks gorgeous...with or without hair! A fine strapping young man!
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka Khot, he seems to like it better too...
Kris McCracken said…
Frankie / Nick, I’ll see you there!
Kris McCracken said…
Sarah, when he isn’t whingeing...
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, he’s a big boy, he keeps telling me.
Kris McCracken said…
Dina, I am 193 centimetres, which is 75.98 inches. That is 6.332 feet. So, no, I’m not 6’ 4”, I am 6’ 3 (and a third)”!
Kris McCracken said…
lemon, he is a dreamboat...
Kris McCracken said…
yamini, I’ve divided the subcontinent! You need to discuss this with Priyanka.
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, I can get like that too. I used to leave it a couple of years between cuts, now it is closer to 6 months.
Kris McCracken said…
Pasadenaadjacent, this one we got from Target.
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, fit as an ox.

Stubborn too.

Like his mother.
yamini said…
Dnt worry, I will discuss it with her.

But going by the past history of cross-border negotiations in the sub-continent, I can assure u that the outcome will not be very encouraging!!!
:-))
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, maybe we need to partition India along lines of "long hair" and "short hair"?
Anonymous said…
again, I want a t-shirt just like Henrys but in MY size
Kris McCracken said…
Pasadenaadjacent, I'll ask if he's willing to share.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
