Clean Shaven...at least for the next day.
Saturdays come and go too quickly, and sometimes I feel that I throw mine away, do nothing valuable or significant, or get caught up doing minor logistical nonsense that catches up with me and the day is gone.
Or sometimes, I might hang out at the local pub and drink it away.
Not today. It is 5:30 a.m., after a little more sleep (crashed last night at 9:30), laundry, painting, music, perhaps some writing while I paint.
Last night, I shaved off the goatee, but will regrow the beard in full, mainly to see the difference in gray hairs from last Christmas, when I had a full beard, then go back to the goatee before I go to San Francisco. Unless of course, I like the beard...it all depends on how well I am able to maintain its shape.
It's good to have a totally beard-free face, even for a day or two. It feels clean.
Anyway, it is Saturday, and I hope to make progress on a couple of paintings today.
And instead of bourbon or beer or wine, which I usually enjoy while painting, perhaps an egg cream or a grapefruit juice, or a tonic water. Time to clean out the system a bit.
Before I celebrate 40.
