I had originally assumed that spinning off the new blog would take maybe 15% of the readership away from this one -- the folks who weren't really interested in the latest baby pictures, or ... http://www.jonandnic.com/topics/news/traffic-patterns The boy needed a haircut. We'd wake him up from his naps, and even with the air conditioning on, his hair would be matted to his head with sweat. But his last haircut (which was also his first) cost over $10.
