I didn't tell you that I grew a beard! It is very exciting. I am saving many dollars on razors, shaving foam, and aftershave. People grow beards for a lot of reasons. For me, there is the financial one, sure, and it is also helpful in keeping my face warm when I go outside. It is funny to look in the mirror and see yourself with a crazy beard and wonder, for a split second, who is that crazy bearded guy? But it is just me, the same old Curt.
My beard is very gray, which makes me feel a little old. I had thoughts of dyeing it, but of course that would negate the financial benefits. The other day a small girl thought I was Santa Claus, but I pointed to my sad butter-deprived belly and told her Santa could never be so skinny. Suddenly realizing I was a stranger, she ran.
I would like to find a way to dye it, if it wasn't cross prohibitive. Maybe red, or blue, or jet black, People could call me "Redbeard", or whatever's appropriate. I think I would like that.
