I should like to point out to THE FAIR ONE that I have a beard of the perfect length, as described by her wonderful self................EEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS. I grew my beard in 1970, and it has pretty well been with me ever since. I remember cutting it off once when my two oldest girls (who are now 21 and 23) were 2 and 4. They sat there on the floor watching their Da, with great interest. When I was done the 4 year old popped up and said, "Da, you got cheeks". When I cut it off, I look much younger, so I imagine that I will cut it off one of these days.
