The recent headlines about Larry Arnn, president of ultra-conservative Hillsdale College and the lack of response by Gov. Bill Lee to off-the-wall remarks disparaging the role of teachers and colleges
It had been about 18 months since I had my hair cut. COVID kept me inside and away from people, but even after I was vaccinated, I limited my forays into the real world. It wasnât only not getting my hair cut: I worked from home and rarely went anywhere in the past two years. And when I did venture out, driving was a novel experience; I had to re-learn some basic techniques that kept my car on the right side of the road.

I hadnât gone out much because I am a card-carrying member of one of those more vulnerable populations that COVID was sure to take out. But the aging hippie look would not befit this minister at a retirement party being thrown in my honor. I knew I had to look good in front of my friends and colleagues. So off I went to get a haircut.
About a year ago, in the spring of 2020, my wife and I took Bella for a walk. We passed a neighborâs house and Kate admired the big clump of daffodils. They must have been planted many years ago, for they were healthy and thick with bright yellow blooms. I knew Kateâs favorite color was yellow, so I thought to buy some daffodil bulbs and plant them.
Coincidentally (or maybe not), Facebook showed me that very day an advertisement for a Dutch company that bred bulb plants like tulips and daffodils. So I went to the website and discovered that in the spring, when everyone sees daffodils after a long, cold winter, the bulb outlets have spring sales. The headlines blared â75% off!â âGiant Daffodils!â
