so I'm clean shaved

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.07.30

For the first time since perhaps 2004, I've shaved my beard off.

It wasn't easy, and I look very different. Coworkers tell me I look ten years younger. My wife tells me that I don't look as friendly (but I put that down to the past three exhausting months).

I decided to do it after having shaved down to just mutton-chop sideburns for a lark during the jazz festival. Everyone assured me that they had to go.

There are some pics around, I should probably put them up for a laugh.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
