Wow, this "no beard" thing is really causing a stir! I just passed a collegue in the hall, another "old fart" type like myself with a beard... in fact THIS guy plays Santa very effectively at Christmastime, with his very own, real all-white beard. He had even tried to recruit me as a "Santa-in-training" the past couple of years. He said shaving it off took 15 years off me. Nice! He also asked how my W likes it. I said "She's getting used to it...", then he asked "Has it improved your sex life?" as in "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more...", and I said "I don't know... we'll see..." and left it at that. Like I'm gonna tell him!
