Alberto, you are so right. This board isn't just about beards, it's about humanity. What's nice is that growing a bit of facial hair has brought us all together and taught us, or at least me, so much.

I have to admit that I never pictured you as a biker dude. That's amazing! You live a wonderfully full life.

I'm glad to hear you have the go-ahead for a yeard. Whether you take your beard to that length or not, you'll at least have had the chance to grow it out enough to really get a feel and appreciation for it.

Cheers!
Tom
