I scheduled a haircut tonight at 22:00 (and i brought his semi-annual bottle of wine; in this case, it was a bottle of 2000 d'Arry's Original). By the time i left, there were three other men waiting for their haircut. My barber lives in Morgan Hill, a 30-minute drive to the south; he said he goes to sleep around 01:30, and gets up at 04:00 and goes back to work. He has someone scheduled for tomorrow (xmas eve, mind you) at 05:30, and he said he'd work until about 18:00. And he's well off, so he's not doing this for the money... he just loves cutting hair. And he does a good job.

Well off is an understatement. The guy is filthy rich! Inherited money at a young age and owns much commercial and residential real estate in the Bay Area. The guy loves talking to people, and I think he loves helping people feel good about themselves. Cutting hair is a great profession for him.

But yeah, he's nuts to work like he does, such crazy hours. And yet, he's the happiest rich person I've ever met.

And such a nice guy.
