Because you demanded it! This is me without a beard.

With thanks to Julie for getting out of bed long enough to take the photo,
and then going back to bed and photoshopping it to size and emailing it to
me in the office.

You look quite good (not better, just different) :)

how long did you have a beard? i'm not sure i've ever noticed it. my mental image of you looks more like the above. :)

beardloss!!!! :-( Oh well, now you remember what you look like without it I suppose.

I like beards, I may have mentioned.

It's difficult for me to comment on the beard/beardless issue because I generally don't notice well people's facial features -- I tend to identify them more by the way they move their body -- but you have strong eyes, nose, mouth, & teeth so I think a beard gives the whole a better balance.

(Note that I've not shaved for something like 30 years and have a probably-too-large full (white) beard that might be too prominent for most aesthetic ideals, but hey, it relieves me of having to look at my face in a mirror every morning.)
