What do you do when your goal was to do 50 new things in 50 weeks, each with friends and/or family, and then you are forced to spend nearly two months sheltering in place, avoiding in-person activity with anyone beyond those in your home?
Time to grow a beard! While I have sometimes gone a week, maybe two, without shaving, I have never gone a whole month and grown a full real beard, let alone two whole months.
Here's what it looked like after about halfway to today.
I did this for the kids -
and for all the Pride
celebrations that won't be
able to happen as planned
this June!
Once I took the photos -
and washed out the hair color
- I trimmed it a bit.
I'm getting used to it
for my quarantine time,
and will keep growing it out
(and trimming it).
This is Berkshires Ira.
However, I don't think the beard
will make it to my 50th birthday,
let alone Memorial Day.
But, we'll see.
