bearded and bald

i use to grow my beard in the winter. this year my vacation came in spring and so did my beard. i use to think a beard seemed unprofessional. i live and work in the redwood forest. i think my beard fits my profession nicely. i use to think i would not enjoy getting older. now i thoroughly enjoy growing old with my wife. you can learn a lot from a spouse and the lessons learned do not have to do with gender. i learned a little bit about that last week. :)
