Why I Oughta...

Might be a bit too thick and lustrous?  In the winter, I might be able to pull this off, being Paternity Leave and all, but in mid-June?  That's a stretch. Now that we have photos of The Bird and me with a strong beard (just like the ones we have with The Babe from a few years back), I'm fine with it coming off for the summer.  We'll see you again in the fall, Beard!

For the better part of the past 18 months (starting a few months before the Babe was born), I've pretty much had a beard.  And I've liked the beard.  But I woke up a few days ago and figured it was time to go.  To mark the occasion, we went to Barnaby's.  (yummers!)  Actually, we don't need a reason to go to Barnaby's to eat the delicious cornmeal-laden pizza pie.  For those of you keeping track of my looks at home and for Parrillo Family archives record keeping purposes, here's an updated photo for the end of March 2011.   For a long time there, I figured that I'd just become a "beard guy".  In fact, I would tell anyone that listens that I'm a "beard guy".   Not this week.  Anymore.  The good news is that stubble is back already.  And, I have a feeling that I'll grow it completely back because I already miss it.  Spring and Summer temperatures may convince me otherwise, though.
