Now that&#8217;s not to say something STUPID such as, &#8220;I like change&#8221;. Please. I had a boss years ago who announced to a big room full of workers that she LOVED change. I wanted to punch her in the face.<\/p>\n<p>But, I digress. I just finished watching the Cubs get swept by the freaking Pittsburgh Pirates. How about that for some change? Sucks if you ask me. Anyway, I noticed a while ago a Pirates&#8217; player who has undergone some BIG change.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about centerfielder Andrew McCutchen. He&#8217;s a good all around player, but what really caught my eye was his sudden change in hair styles. He used to have the biggest set of dreadlocks waving around in baseball. Now? Gone. He&#8217;s completely clean shorn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26a.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26a.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26a.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26a-300x212.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How could he invest in growing those long, braided dreadlocks for so many years and then POOF, cut them all off?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26b.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26b.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26b.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMeMv13i26b-300x224.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I jest, &#8230;.I think?
