Thank you, Sean.  I really love that picture too.  Congratulations, and thank you, on becoming a moderator!

OK, Don and Dennis, I'll get cracking on it.  I just have to figure out how to edit a video to get rid of all the extraneous garbage.  And, yeah, Dennis, I hardly recognize that guy either

Thank you for that, MM, and thanks for stopping by.  Yeah, as I have always said, if you can't have fun with it why do it?  

My pleasure, baldbandit!  Thank you for those kind words.   Anything I can do to help a fellow man become bearded. You read through the whole journey?  I'm not sure whether to be impressed or feel sorry that you didn't have anything better to do  Just kidding, of course.  I hope it gave you some incentive to keep your full beard, at least for a while.

As some of you know my wife and I remodeled out kitchen last year at Christmas.  Well, as projects like that go we only now got all the tile for the back splash up and grouted.  To celebrate my wife made me a new apron that I thought was kind of cool.  She got sort of a candid shot last night.  I think it's all part of some nefarious plot to keep me barefoot and in the kitchen now that it's done

Rather appropriate for a chemist, no?

Cheers!
