So...about a week ago I decided to start growing a beard for the Stanley Cup playoffs. This would be my first beard ever. It's now just a hair shorter than long enough to obviously be a beard, and I've discovered that my genetics have played a cruel joke by making much of the hairs on my chin blond and red. The hair on top of my head is dark brown. I do not understand this at all.
I may take pictures of this exercise in superstition, but I'm at least going to wait until I get to the point where my beard is actually making me look even younger than I look without it (For reference, that's subtract 10 years for without a beard, and subtract 15 years or so for with a beard. Gah!).
Also, it does finally stop itching after about four or five days. Thank goodness.
