Well, there you have it. Clean-shaven once again.

In the past when I have shaven off the beard, the general consensus is that taking it off made me look younger. This time, though, I think I actually look older with a clean face. It also highlights my jowls and my little chin (not a great combo).

Charlotte was quite taken with the change. She keeps telling me how handsome I look now. On our way home the other day, in fact, she told me “if any hot chicks try to pick you up, I’m gonna tell them you’re married!”

No worries there. The closest I’ve ever gotten to a hot chick is the 3-piece breast-and-wing platter at KFC.
