I encouraged John to go to the local salon where I get my hair cut — but the big lumbering guy just didn’t think he was “the salon type”. Oh, right. Eventually he succumbed and now he gets a great haircut —- AND all the human knowledge one would ever need. He now knows what women have known for years: one trip to the salon will reveal insights about — you name it — folk wisdom and cures, deep cosmic mind pops, doubled-over humor, political skippy on local and national matters, and reminders that “life is good”.
So glad to know the Roman artifact is still in place, appropriately cheek-by-jowl with the salon!
Stay safe, all.

I love reading Gentle Author as much as I love the work of Hilary Mantel. Your legacy of cameos is a rich deposit that I, all your followers and posterity are/will be extremely grateful. Thank you.
