Newsflash: Goatee gone. Chin and upper lip, released unharmed, recovering at Walter Reed hospital.

As so many predicted, my summer fling with a goatee and moustache has, with the changing of the leaves, ended. We have, rather fashionably, annulled the relationship.

It was just too high maintenance, requiring near-constant tugging and twisting, especially the delicious little bits on the border with the shaved areas. You know who you are. Um, were. I couldn't maintain my beard and write my blog. It really came down to that.

And while I was in having my goatee and moustache removed, I had them further weaken my chin and, what the heck, add some more moles.

BTW, I expect to get over the pathetic habit of stroking my chin where my goatee used to be by the time the spring rains come.
