Well. 2 months down and people have gotten use to the stupid beard. I am at the point now where I would like to shave it and be done with it. But, Billy and Jennifer like it. Also, my little nephew Eli thinks that I am a cub at the zoo and grabs it like a toy.
Take a look. Should I continue to my Springtime goal? Jennifer doesn’t like the serial killer look in the picture below so I included two for you.

That’s a fine beard, sir. A fine beard. Love it, hold it, be proud of it. Tell it how you feel.
I have taken to the pensive beard stroke pretty well. I will look really stupid next month when I just pensively stroke my chin.
I like it too, Mark. Some men just can’t wear one but you can!
Thanks. I knew this beard would make me a man. I believe!
I’m beginning to like it. It does look better this time around than in times past. I say continue on to your goal.
I think if I shave it Eli won’t know who I am. He only knows the bearded Mark.
