LIKE A CAT? Sorry, a bit more Friday-and-unserious blogging: As several fellow TAPPEDers know I shave about once every two weeks and generally sport a scraggly not-quite-beard, but I figured I knew what there was to know about facial hair. But Mitt Romney‘s kid reports that his beard would “shed”? Beards shed? Is that common knowledge? I guess I gotta go to that museum and learn a thing or two.
