jackMy nascest beard is about three weeks old now. I've had mixed responses.
* Normally whenever anyone changes in appearance, even a haircut or wearing different sorts of clothes, no-one they meet can resist pointing and dropping jaws in shock. I'm very impressed that everyone, friends and family, didn't.
* There were a few guardedly optimistic responses
* There were a few shocked negative responses, though the shock may be from the change, rather than the negative.
* If any of the poleaxed people want to put some tactful words to their reaction, I'm listening, and appreciate the honest feedback :)
* We had a play with the camera, but didn't get any nice pictures yet. I might as well let it fill in as much as possible before admitting it online :)
* I rather like it. I think it *does* make me look distinguished. Of course, it's something like being a ukulele-master, being good at something ridiculous rather than average at something normal, may or may not be desirable. I certainly don't care if I'm fashionable, on the other hand, I certainly care what people I like think.
