This past week we had a meeting of the corporate guys from NY, etc., in my NO office. After 8+ hours of work, we retired to the bar at one of the largest hotels on Canal Street for drinks at the bar--looking around I thought it was a SBG convention, at least 20+ guys, but mind you this is one of the two largest hotels in the CNO. Nice.
Then, today, leaving the building's parking garage, I'm stopped at the first light turning onto St. Charles Avenue, a major street, and a group, maybe 10-15 people, probably tourists, heading into the French Quarter for the French Quarter Fest, yeah we party a lot in the City, are standing at the corner as I'm trying to get home. One of the group, 20-30's, whatever, sly and otherwise, sees me in my convertible Mini, top down, and says, "Hard-A$$ed beard, good dome!". It totally stoked me, I mean totally. I've considered triming the extended goatee back recently, now my ego is really involved. Damn, being sly is a great way to live. Now do I reconsider my idea of trimming back the goatee to a "trad" look or not? It's a question.
