The Beard Generator

January 30, 2012

I appreciate the encouragement about my beard. It’s fun. But it is not yet reaching anything near “epic” proportions.

With the encouragement I also hear a common lament, “I cannot grow a beard!” This is typically accompanied [...]

Pencil Does Not Fade

December 7, 2011
