It had been suggested that I approach Locks of Love to possibly donate the goatee to some poor person who is facially, follicle challenged.

My gracious family said they would be willing to do so in order for me to be able to keep the goatee for days that I do not go to work. Here's how it looks on various temporary hosts:







Needless to say, it works better on some than on others.
