CHEERS FOR BEARDS

Yes, by now word has spread that I have most definitely let my facial hair grow into something more or less resembling a beard... Approximately six weeks ago after telling Brian Sergi and Thomas Scharff about my plans these blokes decided to let the facial hair rage too. The photo was snapped at a restaurant last night as we celebrated Tom's 21st birthday with some Cabernet and delicious family style dishes: pureed squash and potatoes, seafood salad, beef loin, milanesa and floating island cake. Culinary heaven.


 Here's my list of top five reasons why I decided to let the beard grow:
1) To blend in. Argentine men of all ages tend to let the scruff go!

2) I've always admired my father's mustache.

3) To see if I could. I was skeptical at first about it growing in, but sure enough mission Scruffy September was successful.

4) Avoid doing something that has become a chore. Shaving was cool for like a month when I was in eighth grade...

5) I like looking in the mirror and imagining I'm a historic character from Treasure Island, the Civil War or the Good the Bad and the Ugly.

Once I've shaved the beard (not sure when yet), I'll definitely post a list of justifications...
