On a different note, I fear that there are some who have not yet seen the glory of Craig's beard. This saddens me, so I have decided to post a picture on my blog:
...glorious. This picture has inspired me to write a sonnet entitled "Craig's Beard: an apologia"
Behold the man, a bushy bearded one,
who dares to wear his pride upon his chin,
with towering hair atop expressly done
so as to imitate a dorsal fin.
After this change some see him as a brute
and mothers come accost him in the square
"thou fiend, thou villain, man of ill repute!
What devilry hide you beneath such hair?"
O how much ridicule has this man borne
by those who see as folly facial hair?
would he be less a man if fairly shorn?
a man of lesser force his chin laid bare?
Ah! surely not for strength comes from within
nevertheless a beard is not a sin.
Merry Christmas!
Joyeux Noël!

His beard is magnificent! When he came over to watch our house Josh and I were amazed by it (and that was two weeks ago). By the way, that picture was taken at our house, probably while little Conan was barking. I know you miss him. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!!
*sigh* I miss Conan too. I miss how he used to look at me out of one eye (he couldn't with both: wall-eyed you see), except he wasn't really looking at me or anything. He was simply resisting entropy, with great effort.
