A Geek's Life

In the aftermath of yesterday’s outing, I popped on to Instagram and was greeted by yet another friend showcasing a salt and pepper beard. Being clean shaven as I am, battling a beard – never mind its colour – has not been something I have bothered with in all my years.

My friends and I are now at an age where male pattern baldness (me), and coloured beards (most of them) are becoming the norm, rather than the exception. All of this got me thinking about Christian Wiman’s All My Friends are Finding New Beliefs.

As it stands, if I were to write my own parody, it would be All My Friends are Finding Grey Beards….Now that’s a poem I just might want to read!
