Bye Bye Beardie

On April 19th I gave my last final. On the morning of 20 April I put away the razor and we headed to Virginia, Arizona, and Texas on our round-the-country visit to the kids. My beard has been growing ever since.

I begin teaching again on Monday and need to spend some time on campus in preparation, so it was time to lose the hirsute face. Katy Kathryn captured the event:

Full beard

Goatee

Okely dokely

Oh!

All gone

That's all for now.

OXO

The beard's a pretty good look. Too bad about that rule. There's always retirement?

Love the pictures! So strange to see just the mustache again!

Quite the transformation. Glad we got to see you before the beard came off.

I remember when "okely dokely" was the standard! You look great in all the shots! Well, except the "oh!"
