It's weird, the beard is so ubiquitous that I was shocked to learn - thanks to this Wikipedia page - that only five American Presidents have sported one while in office - not counting a two-week goatee Harry Truman wore after the 1948 election. I find that strange because we must all know more than five people who have beards - not counting ourselves. Thinking about it, there are at least people on my street that have beards!
Here then is a celebration of the beard - not because I have one - it's not out of pride I wear a beard, it's mostly out of laziness - but because I do think beards are just great. I highly recommend them. & these days, if it makes you seem less presidential - friend, that's a good thing.
You can listen while stroking you beard at both the KBOO website & also the Self Help Radio website. For the latter, if needed, use SHR as a username, & selfhelp as a password. Most everything that happened on the show is listed below.
As for me - ugh - I might need a trim.
