Swan Dive

A few days ago, while waiting in a long line at Fido, I was surrounded by beards. And not just beards. But serious late 19th century beards. Rutherford B. Hayes beards. Smith Brothers Cough Drop guy beards. This has been the winter of beards. It’s an odd trend to make a fashion comeback. The trend is so widespread in Manhattan that New York Magazine has given the newly hirsute fellow a catchy name – The Urban Woodsman. So I wonder what’s next? Center-parted hair and waxed mustaches? All I can say is wait until the next time you see me. . .
