10 Mar 10 Coffee & Bacon
A cancelled appointment this morning wasn’t perhaps the best start to a working day, but I have to confess I’m enjoying the day so far.
After dropping Kathy downtown, I headed over to The Clipper Club for a Sailaway.
No, dear readers, nothing to do with water-bourne activities; I’m pretty much a landlubber!
No, a Sailaway at The Clipper Club involves a half hour of face, neck, and scalp hot towel massage, and a shampoo and style, so it’s a real pampering for us guys.
After that, I headed back to Folly Road, and decided to swing by Kronic Coffee, for a brew. I don’t get to this side of town very often, being way over in Ladson, and this is my first visit to this establishment.
I have to say that the coffee was excellent, and unlike certain other places, freshly brewed. The oatmeal I’d had for breakfast a few hours before was delicious, but it didn’t quite match up to the ‘Bashy BLT’ that I ordered here. This was quite simply one of the tastiest BLT’s I’ve even eaten anywhere, and just a great flavor combination. All BLT’s are NOT the same!
Aah, Making it last – more work to do this afternoon!

22 Feb 10 The Clipper Club
I’ve been going to get a haircut for months. Yes months. It had been at least six months since I last got one.
My hair is thick, and I’ve never been able to do anything with it. I’ve usually just had a buzz cut all over 2-3 times a year.
Why am I telling you all this? Just to show you what a hopeless case I am, but how my outlook has been recently transformed.
How? Well, those of you who know me know that I am a Twitterholic. I happened to see The Clipper Club one day while I was rambling about in the Twitterverse. Now, bearing in mind what I’ve said above, I was skeptical about being pampered. I’m not really a macho type of guy either, I just need a haircut OK?
My wife told me to go and get a haircut and it would be her valentine treat for me.
So I did. Now I’m converted. I understand the pampering bit now. I didn’t go for the full monty. Just a haircut.
First impressions? I walked into The Clipper Club and I get a great welcome.
That’s always nice. Lori was not only a great barber, but great company for a half hour.
Aside from a great haircut, I left feeling like we were almost old friends!
Lori expressed surprise that I succumbed to her advice. She made a few suggestions in regard to my grooming, and I was more than happy to cede to her professional judgement.
I’ll certainly be going back again, and I won’t wait six months either.
I think I really might have the full works next time too. I quite like the idea of a full neck and shoulder massage. I spend way too many hours in front of this computer!
The after effects?
I’ve taken to using shampoo on my hair again, instead of a bar of soap, and I’ve taken Lori’s advice and started to use Woody’s Pomade to try and get my hair to stay where I comb it, and where I want it to be instead of where it decides to go all on its own!
