The Devolution of a Beard

     Well, the time is rapidly approaching for my return to the world of work. One of the benefits of having had a nice long break from work was the opportunity to make my first serious attempt at the age of 33-34 at growing a beard.
     A much more famous writer from the town I went to High School in, Tom Bodet, had some very funny thoughts on beards many years ago. My Program Director said to "Never trust a man with a beard. He's usually hiding something."Take a look at the following pictures as my beard devolves, and maybe you will understand the humor that comes from facial hair. Maybe you will just laugh at me, looking like a goofball. Maybe not. Anyways, enjoy the pics!



The efforts of Dec 17th thru January 22nd, 37 days total - pretty pitiful compared to many "Real Alaskans!"

The final product!
Note the shocked look on my face - I had forgotten what I looked like clean-shaven.
