DON"T SHAVE ! LOL ! BTW, I'm not one for 'selfies', but without pictures ...... it didn't happen ...... right ?

The story is ...... I caught a bad cold back in mid December. To the point where I was too miserable to shave for a week. When I recovered, looked in the mirror, I saw that I had a good start to a full beard. Never had one in my long life so figured what the heck.

So I raised a beard, shaving up the neck, and down the cheeks. Kind of cool. People liked it, said I looked 'distinguished.' I let it go for a few months, and last night I converted it to a Lee Marvin, as in the film 'Paint Your Wagon', type. More correctly an Ambrose Burnside (American civil war general).

That ain't really me, makes me look mean and old, neither of which I am obviously, so I went to my wild west handlebar. Made me look like a Paul Muni in 'The Last Angry Man', which ain't bad, but I was tired of feeling all of that weight on my upper lip .......... so the beard was Gone With The Wind, and I'm doing my Clark Gable impersonation ......... Frankly my dear ........ I don't give a damn ....... but it is good to be shaving again. I missed my straights.
