To Beard or not to Beard
That was the question.
I decided to grow a beard for the first time in a long time. It came in grayer than I was expecting. Though it made me a bit more distinguished, it also aged me a couple of years. I know, I know, I should not be so vane but I am. I need all the help I can get. I put up with looking a bit older because the beard also helped hide some of my weight. This trade off of weight for age took a turn for the worst. A couple weeks back I was skiing with Alex and he convinced me to go off a jump. After completing my little jump and landing on my feet Alex skied down to me and informed me that the guys up top said, “Hey look the old guy can do tricks.” Flattering as that might sound, I decided to shave off the beard and look younger even if that means looking heavier. Now of course, the young guys on the mountain will still see me as the old guy but I do think I look a bit younger.
