The ancient legend says that a man’s power is linked to his mane.  But in reality, I think the real power comes through a different channel, i.e. the woman’s new haircut.  Somehow a fresh new look sparks the soul within.  Chika and I joked that the “self” had gotten trapped a bit with motherhood taking over.  But with a fresh new cut, my lady is back.  And already using her new found self power to send me a few action points.  I had gotten a haircut too but it had little impact — as Samson realized, less hair means less power.

On a side note, if you are looking to get clipped in Berlin, I would recommend Link Hair Design on Prenzlauer Allee.  The Japanese know what they are doing in this art.  Plus they are very baby friendly — kids 10 and under are free with their parent.  Kai isn’t quite ready to be cut (still is growing in), but he was resting quite well during the whole event.
