I have been thinking of shaving off my beard for a couple of weeks. After watching a few videos of myself from the rehearsals I've been doing, last night I decided it was time.

I have one of those faces that changes dramatically with facial hair. 


I've had a beard, on and off, since I could grow one - I believe the first time I grew one out I was seventeen or eighteen.

It was part of my attempt to seem as mature as my friends, most of whom were at least a year or two older than that (from age sixteen onwards).

Of course, it's hard work and quite self-damaging to appear as something you're not, but that's a conversation for another time.

So, just before midnight, I got out my clippers, and, preserving various mustache shapes, one of which I briefly kept - just long enough to send a quick pic to Alex, who I told, at the same time, I was thinking of getting rid of the 'stache - he agreed it was better to lose the lip awning.

And so, here we are. I'm going to be shaving for a while.

I look less like a muppet, and a lot younger (although that is never a consideration for me). I like the look well enough. If I miss the beard, it only takes two weeks grow it back.

I'm grateful for my life and my good looks.

Diet Comment
I am disappointed to not get a good start on losing the weight I put on this weekend. I blame the gain on Popeye's Spicy Chicken sandwich and its carb count. It's so good, but definitely not a weight-loss aid. Today was a little better. I hope to see a loss tomorrow, but if not, I think I have to cut out peanut butter, which I had previously eschewed because it is a trigger food.
