Twittering

Well the beard didn't last very long. I'll have to change my photo again. It felt too uncomfortable, and was just as much trouble to maintain as shaving every day or two, as well as making me feel old. Srangely three people complimented me on the beard, but unfortunately after I'd already got rid of it.

I joined Twitter a few days ago. As if I need more ways to waste my time. Somehow I have already acquired five followers and sixteen subjects to follow, and posted two tweets, all this mostly related to humanism.

Nostalgia Apologia

I thought I'd let my beard grow during the cold spell over the Winter Solstice, thinking that I would probably shave it off when the weather changed, but it seems I have now become attached to it, at least until any really warm weather should come along. I've also updated my photo here and on facebook accordingly.

This evening, having seen it previewed in the local paper, I went to the White Rock Theatre for an evening of nostalgia, where the Glenn Miller Orchestra was performing. The tunes were good, and some of the individual performers, but it was just far too loud. After the interval I tried moving further back in the Gallery but couldn't escape the sheer blast of sound. It was getting almost painful. So when they started playing something from The Sound of Music, which I certainly don't associate with the Glenn Miller era, I decided I'd had enough.
