The Beard

So I know this is completely self indulgent, but too bad. As a corporate lawyer, there was a certain expectation that the hair was short and the chin stayed shaved. Before we left our jobs I sprung my idea on Charlotte: I wasn't going to shave or cut my hair for the length of the trip. She wasn't happy but she had little choice, mohahaha.

Since then it has been left to its own devices and thus far it's fantastic, although very hot in the current climate.

Now I am the first to admit that my ability to grow a beard is seriously questionable, as it is patchy, uneven, and blond in spots, but like a fine wine it takes time to develop, and we have plenty on time.

Join me on my lifelong dream.... to look like Tom Hanks from Castaway.
