Well, the time had to come. Today I said goodbye to the beard. I stopped shaving the first week in August and never really expected to last this long. It's funny how in such a short amount of time you can grow attached to something as simple as a beard. It was the first time that I ever really tried to grow a beard. A few years ago I did go for about 4 weeks without shaving but then gave up on it. I think this venture was much more successful. I had a lot of good feedback, so who knows, maybe my little facial friend will decide to make an appearance sometime again...

--I must say the girl that cut my hair today cut a little more than I initially wanted cut but, as always, I'll grow into it.
