The last few weeks I’ve been growing out my beard. No particular reason why, just something different.

Several years ago I’d stopped doing this because it was coming in the wrong color (“sparkly” was my son’s polite euphemism) but now I’ve embraced the grey.

Problem is I’m just not a beard guy, which brings me to my current problem.

Over the weekend I renewed my driver’s license and of course I was photographed–with the beard.

So now I kind of own in until 2027.

Whoops.

Well, by then my actual beard will be fully grey so it still won’t look like me.

Joke’s on them.
