11 weeks in! It looks like I'm in this for the long haul. At least until my 50th birthday in a few months. No more complaints or weird looks. I seem to burst out laughing for no reason a lot more than I used to....not sure if the beard is the cause. Also while food shopping with my wife I found myself stopping in the middle of a crowded isle and daydreaming. At least three times people had to go around me. Then I would do the burst out laughing thing.
Well....my beard took a turn in a new direction the other day. The sides are now gone and I cut my hair. I'm still in the game though. This style could be more doable for me. We shall see. I may let the sides grow in a little bit at some point in the future.
So, things are starting to get ugly around here. They all are telling me I'm starting to look old, feeble and crazy. I'm starting to feel the pressure to trim my beard. The men folk seem to like it....it's the women that are getting scared. This is truly at the "one day at a time" phase....stay tuned!
I'm sitting here at the dining room table on a Sunday morning snapping photos of myself. This, all of a sudden, has made me question my motives. Is this really science or could it be vanity? I think it's a little of both mixed in with a HUGE amount of boredom. Anyway, here we are at 8 weeks.
