By The Hair Of My Chinny Chin Chin

I have had some form of facial hair for some time now.  The reason being that without it I look basically the same as I did in grade 3, except that I have swelled.  Well that is the reason I give people, but actually the truth is everytime I shave I manage to cut my chin, so I gave up.

Since my wife and I married, I have been "required" to maintain a minimum of a Van Dyke, or what I have always called a goatee.  On those few occasions when I have actually shaved everything off, either due to a trimming error or, as I have explained to my wife, because once in a while you just gotta wash your face.  She will just look at me and say no.

Fall has started to make its presence known here.  The days are quickly getting shorter and the air a little cooler.  Winter will be here sooner or later.

So it is time to go from the summer goatee back to the full beard.  As I have not had to be anywhere special lately, and I have been to lazy to shave, so I have a pretty good start.  The best part is that while I am regrowing it, I do not have to shave at all.
