Eddie was money

I need a haircut. Been too busy. Plus I don't really have a place I like.

When I was a kid, I used to get my hair cut at Little Tony's on West 11th street. Stopped for some reason at some point.

Then when I was like 28 I started going there again. Eddie was my guy. He was the only one working there with a good haircut, so I picked him. All the guys there were nice, though. They had lots of dirty pictures on the mirror, like chicks lying on their bellies in the surf, exposing their thonged asses. They also had a Polaroid of Cecil Fielder up on the mirror. He and his son were getting haircuts at Little Tony's ca. 1996. I wonder if it's the kid who plays for the Brewers now. That would be cool. He was a big kid, the kid in the picture.

One time Eddie gave me a Heineken while I was getting my hair cut. Me and Eddie and Tony and the guys, drinking Heinekens and listening to WCBS-FM on a Saturday afternoon.

Another time it was a glass of wine.

Then I moved to the Upper Wessside and it became harder for me to go to Little Tony's. So I started going to some place uptown.

Now I'm back downtown, so a couple of months ago I stopped in at Little Tony's to see if Eddie was still there.

He's not.
