B-Day

[gfish]

Today was B-Day! After not shaving for a year and 6 days, I finally got rid of my facial growth:



The beard was fun, but not really me in the end. And it was a pain to take care of. But it was a nice souvenir of the Mackenzie while it lasted, I gave it an honest go, and I can hold my head high.

To make a bit of an event out of it, I went to this charmingly old school barbershop at Hastings and Nanaimo and had it removed with a straight razor. They did the hot towels and lather and aftershave and powder and everything. Pretty fun, actually. I guess I can see the appeal of the whole spa thing.

While the beard did look much better in March than it does in that picture, I did have a moment, seeing the newly clean-shaven you, of thinking, "OH! *There* you are!!"

So, uh, I tend to concur with your conclusion that it isn't really you, in the end:)

PS Is it just me or do you look really tired in both those pictures?

We had lunch after he got it shaved off, and I have to admit that I had the same reaction. And thought about it for a few seconds, and realized, it was like seeing Fish circa 2005 again. :D

It's weird how, apparently, my mental image of Fish never got the beard update.
