Happy New Year: Beard update circa Jan. 1

Thanks to my daughter Natalie for this latest beard update, taken this evening.

As you can see, it's coming in bushy and gray, more than a month into it (my last day of shaving was Thanksgiving). Still got two-plus months to go!

Remember, we are collecting donations for our wonderful Down syndrome charity -- 100 days without shaving, donate a penny, nickel or dime a day!

All I will do is continue to avoid shaving while enduring the ridicule of those around me.
