no better way

I have found that in my profession (yes, profession) it takes a lot of dedication. Learning a bunch of facts to facinate people, learn a new skill to show visitors, or just learn to (SWEETNESS, Stairway to Heaven just came on...I love Led Zeppelin) talk to a large group of people. To completly immerse yourself into a time that has long since passed, it takes a big heart and tons of love. For me, I have found the best way to dedicate myself is to look the part, even if it means pissing off family or finacee. What could I be talking about? It is simple.
Going from this...a nice full beard....


to this...the General Ambrose Burnside look. and yes, it really pissed Andrea off. But that is okay, she'll get over it. And I'm sure that when my family sees it, they'll just shake their heads, except Chuck, he'll get a kick out of it. All of my co-workers love it.
