Somewhere in March, I had a few days where I was toying around with the idea of growing a mullet. It has been 20 years since the above picture was taken of me with my mullet. I floated the idea out to JD and had it quickly shot down. We are new to our church and she didn't want to be meeting people for the first time with me having that style. I accepted that and tried to move on, but then a friend of mine donated hair to Locks of Love. The figurative lightbulb popped on above my head.
I am now in the process of growing a mullet for the sake of harvesting it once it gets over 10 inches to donate to Locks of Love. In my doing this, I have registered mulletsoflove.com and will be posting a blog there detailing my hair growth and some info about Locks of Love and the types of children that will be benefiting from my mullet. Hopefully, I should have that blog up and running some time over the next week. Unless I can get others interested, I may have to find some money to set aside for me to get hats and/or t-shirts made up for me to wear. Most likely they will have the motto I've adopted for this effort - "Business in the Front, Charity in the Back" on the front of the t-shirt. I'm checking with Locks of Love to see if it would be a hassle for me to mention their charity. Depending on how they feel about this, I'll either have "Growing mullet to donate hair to Locks of Love" or "Growing mullet to donate hair for charity" (and, yes, if someone would like to provide grammar guidance on the proper prepositions to complete those sentences, I would be appreciative).
I'll update y'all here on any developments.
