This is why mothers approach me in the grocery store to tell their children that I'll be coming soon and they better behave !!

Not completely white yet but well on its way and it goes well with the light grey hair.  BUT, after 3-4 years of a long beard and long hair I just sheared it off.  Just for a change of pace.

[watab kid]

i think im in good company here based on all these pictures - ive been white [after starting black] for so many years i forget some dont get here till later in life , mine started in high school - advanced in later years rapidly

Oh, but my man...Shanley's IS a beard.

The hair grows BELOW the lip line...which makes it a beard.

See ya soon!!

Third match. Also nice to notice I am not the only one, er, "expanding". 

 

Unfortunately, until I get my schedule un-discombobulated, I will only be shooting the annual match in April.  

[watab kid]

wait a minute - im not expanding im contracting ...ive lost about 20 lbs since my heart attack - not by choice just what is happening , nearly back to my post college weight .........................for the record im not bragging , im simply stating , its whats happening , ive shrunk a bit to not as tall , no where near as strong and if you listen to my wife i cant hear either , i figure my time is closing out but gonna make the best of it , i didnt mention my eyesight as thats been mentioned a lot on every site im on , 

 

no longer getting white - thats already happened - now im loosing the hair that turned white years ago , as the wicked witch of the west said "im melting" , ive taken to wearing a hat to keep my head warm and my body from complaining 

 

over the years ive never thought much of the end of life - now i am as im living it , its interesting that we always think of ourselves as vibrant till we are not , ive hurt alover for many years but pretty much ignored it till recently when it suddenly has put me on notice that im no longer able to ignore it , after 3/4 century im suddenly not that 16 year old in the mirror shaving my face[OK , ive not really shaved since covid - i just trim around the edges and groom the growth] its on my face not my head these days so i trim it , 

 

i think what im saying here is its hell to get old and m not happy about it because im realizing im in the end of my life era

Most of the beards here are most distinguished in appearance!
Mine was sparse and thin and my wife complained often I looked homeless.
Finally listened to her and sawed it off and frankly it was an improvement.

My respect to the Brothers of the Brush who strike a fine figure with their face fur!

I'll have to borrow one.  When I had a beard it wasn't white, it was brownish-red

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I've never believed in waiting until the end is nigh to do the Bucket List things.  First, if I wait I might not be in the condition required to do some of my Bucket List items.  Second, I'd surely run out of time before getting through my Bucket List.  Third, if I do somehow manage to get through my Bucket List (highly unlikely), I can surely come up with more things to add to it.  I say, get onto your Bucket List items at the very first opportunity, at that first moment when you have the time, means, and physical and mental faculties to do them.  No point putting off 'til tomorrow anything we can do today, because not a single one of us is guaranteed any tomorrows.

There exists a picture (and I wish I could find it!) -- my father, my brother, and myself, ranked shoulder to shoulder.

We were in suit-and-tie and Masonic aprons, and all three of us with a full beard.

Dear old Dad was just going to grey but my brother and I were still a good rich Clan Maxwell red.

Before us, in her Eastern Star gown, my dear skinny little Mama, bent over a little, laughing.

My father, my brother and I, are of a like height, and a like breadth of shoulder: in those far off days, I had not my current Equatorial Bulge (insert innocent expression here!) and we three were solemn, stolid, not quite glaring at the camera.

Mama came up to my Adam's apple and she was big around at the belt as ... well, I could span her waist with my hands and touch the tips of thumbs and middle fingers, and I once patted her on the head and said "Nice lid-dle Mini Mommie!"

She cocked a fist and snarled "Shut up or I'll punch you right in the kneecap!"

I say all this because that photograph, of we three ranked behind my skinny little Mama, was the perfect illustration of how my diminutive, almost tiny little Mama, kept Three Red Bearded Celtic Giants In Line, and Made It Look Easy!
