When I was younger I typically had longer hair and/or a beard. Now I have short hair and no beard. I can blame the short hair on my wife who seems to prefer it that way. I shaved the beard when all the gray started coming in. I find shorter hair is easier to take care of. although my appearance has changed, my values have not. i have been cornered more than once at a party by someone, based on my appearance, tried to inflame a political discussion with me and was surprised to find I was probably more left-thinking than they were.
