Happy New Shears!

Every year it is a holiday tradition that I grow out my beard for November and December. The only time in the past decade or so that I have not was in 2010 when the lovely and wonderful Traveler Nell requested that i wear a goatee in our wedding photos (by the way she pronounces that word very adorably as “GOAT-ie”). I knew i was by far getting the better deal in that transaction so I figured was the very least I could do.

So this is what I looked like when I went to work yesterday morning.
Last year I made a video but I was off on speed.

Inconceivably this years effort was even worse.

Any way this is what I look like now.

Unfortunately, Traveler Nell is not a fan of clean shaven Bill. Apparently I look too young. It takes a good day or two for her to acclimate to my face.
