So, ZZ Top for life; eh?

So far. Maybe not forever though, I was really considering cutting it all off recently.

Half the fun is growing it back ...
Do you even remember what your face looks like without it, man?

Not exactly new but much as I look today. I did shave my beard and got a fairly short haircut last month. I really don't remember when this was taken but I still wear that striped shirt.

You don't look bad without the ZZTop ...

You can tell though, my face is destined to have a beard.

I kind of like the cleaner cut, man ...

Feels weird not having a beard though. Scraping your face off just seems un-natural.

I do it one or twice a week ...

Growing one myself...

Why?

I stopped shaving around the time Betty was due, so that when I first held her I wouldn't be all stubbly (and because let's face it, a reason to not shave is convenient). That was mid-April, and I've trimmed the beard back three or four times since then, and it's thickening up nicely.

Well, a beard suits you, Si ...
It's not for me ...

Because I want to.

Looks good on you. Better than the stubble everyone seems to think is fashionable now.

Agreed ...
... and it's not ginger any more

I liked the ZZ Top better on Tru.
It's not an easy look to pull off, but he can do it.

Ain't nuttin' ginger on me anymore...

Not even your step?

Thanks Mac, I always thought I looked better with it as well.
But It's gone now and there's no time to cry about it, C'est la vie.

I doubt I will live long enough to grow it back.

DJ Ginger Snaps:

I doubt I will live long enough to grow it back.

How long did it take to grow initially?

10 to 15 years min.

Man, who's got that kinda time?

At least it's not something you have to work on. Just let it go.

Yeah, I'm glad I hate excessive facial hair beyond a few days ...

Commie, is that a tattoo or pen on your finger?

Dammit, take the compliment ...
FFS!!!

haha yeah this.





and this is the canal




That view is basically next to the previous one. Trees on the right of the first pic are those trees on the left of this one.

It's a tattoo.
