Bjorn's Beard Redefined

Bjorn's Beard Redefined

How long does it take to grow a beard? It's a question I've been asked many times and have never been able to answer. This is my non-scientific account of the growing and raising of a proper beard.

August 28 -- Day 14 -- It's starting to show

Two weeks since I last shaved and this morning, I could tell that I have a beard coming in.  Yeah, I kinda like the look.

But, this past week has been fun.  With the first week of classes, lots of my previous students did major double takes.  One student who was taking another class from me almost didn't come into class because he didn't recognize me.

It's funny how many people think that I've lost a bet or something.  Yeah, I made a major change, but a lot of people just can't believe it's because I simply decided to do it.  It's hair.  It'll grow back.  And it already is.

Anyway, today was also my last day at camp for 2011.  Got everything packed up, the boat out of the water, and made my way home.  It's kinda bitter-sweet.  I really wish this summer hadn't come to an end -- I had a lot of fun and had LOTS of good lifeguards working around the program.  I'm really looking forward to next summer now.

Next week -- I head down to Mora.  It'll be interesting to hear what the rest of the family says.

 Gorm and I -- looking stoic with our beards.  I think it's the first time EVER he has more beard than me
