The Dreaded Moment Arrives

Gord and I are simple people, with simple dreams. We like to dream the attainable. One of Gord's dreams as of late is to have dreads. So Gord put an action plan in place, so that step by step, he could achieve those dreams. One year ago, Gord decided he would not cut his hair, but would grow it out long enough to dread it.
Stage 1 - Oct 2008


Stage 2 - Nov 2008


Stage 3 - March 2009


(for those of you wondering, yes, Gord only has one dress shirt and yes, I only have one dress sweater.)

Stage 4 - May 2009


Stage 5 - Last Night



Our good friends Jon and Dayna took it upon themselves to come over and help in the process. I have to say, I don't know who was more excited; Gord or Jon, who was living vicariously through him.

All divided up.


And the finished product.


Happy Customer with his assailants.


Misson Accomplished.
