If you haven't seen me in a while

A beard and a fro.

The strangest thing is the reaction from acquaintances you don't see a lot. You get that "I know that person looks familiar for some reason but I can't put my finger on it" reaction often, especially when you see someone out of context. I think I like the beard. The hair is, well, interesting. I'm going to let it grow for another month or so and go to a fancy hair-cutter type who can craft it into something beautiful. If I hate it I'll shave it down like I used to.

I came to the realization the other day that it's taken me getting far, far away from the corporate world to be comfortable with this. And maybe turning 30 has something to do with it. Who knows.

The most likely outcome will be that I wake up one morning and shave it all off. We'll see.

Oh, and Emma went the other direction and got hers chopped off:
