The hair on my chinny chin chin


Went to the league convention some weeks back and saw most of the serious coaches were sporting the shaved head, finely-trimmed goatee look. Made immediate decision to go down that road. Having had my head shaved earlier this week, I’m up early this morning to work on the facial hair, converting four days of stubble into one newly-formed goatee. So pleased with the results that I stand in front of the hall mirror for ten minutes, suavely stroking a chin now sporting a little salt with its pepper, admiring the instant gravitas this gives me. That’s when wife walks by.

‘What have you done?’ she asks, wiping the sleep from her eyes.

‘Updated my look,’ I reply, turning to give her the full frontal view of the goatee. ‘What do you think?’

‘I think you look like you put your head on upside-down this morning,' she says before marching away triumphant.

Difficult to believe but she gets less and less supportive of my coaching career every day.
