Tom, you were one of the first and most generous respondents to my neophyte posts here. And while, at the time, your first response was both supportive and alarming, I've come to understand your insights. We may, indeed, be on the same path. My reaction to your beard, though, is this: it looks like you. Completely natural. Whatever you may choose to do, going forward, I totally understand. Enjoy it!
