Just took the rug off last night...

Thanks guys 

I appreciate the support.  It hasn't been a completely easy week, but life goes on.  A colleague of mine said on Friday: "You looked more handsome before."  My first thought was "did you really just say that?"  I was baffled.  That's private school for you.  My student shave already become accustomed to my look.  Some at my churc are having a challenging time with it, but that is their issue THEY have to deal with.  It has nothing to do with me and EVERYTHING to do with them.

It has nothing to do with me and EVERYTHING to do with them.

   Bullseye--precisely, particularly if they've learned anything sitting in Church!  But as the Bard put it for some of these people, "Words without thoughts never to heaven go!"
