- Well, finally, after two years of wondering and three weeks of
- unbearable itching agony, my first ever beard has filled out. If I must
- say so myself, I think it looks rather dashing. It's a coppery red
- color, with hints of gold when the sun shines through it the right way.
- It sets off my otherwise ridiculous curly blond hair nicely, making my
- head look a little less misshapen.
-
- Many times I have gone a week or so without shaving, to see if
- it would grow nicely, but I always succumbed to the horrible itching
- monster by slashing it off and setting it free from my face. This time,
- however, I was strong, and broke the wild beard before it broke me. I
- feel as though I have joined the ranks of many great bearded men, Karl
- Marx, Old Abe Lincoln, and Charles Manson to name just a few. Maybe now
- I will be able to thoughtfully stroke my facial hair when pondering some
- deep philosophical problem, such as wether to have Eggos (tm) or Kudos
- (also tm) with my breakfast can of carbonated beverage. Maybe now I
- will be able to proudly wipe nasty food particles out of my moustache as
- have many before me. Ahhhhh.... The world awaits me.

- 5-month old son to grip when he pulls himself upright)
