HI Al,

Thanks for the encouraging stories. I like the comment about being on parole. I will have to add that to my bag of comebacks.

Interestingly enough, some of my facial hair has started to grow back. It is starting on the edges and creeping in. Everyday I notice a few more whiskers. Every morning, in front of the mirror, I excitedly point out the new whiskers to my wife and she more or less just rolls her eyes at me. Perhaps my level of enthusiasm is a little too much at 6:15 am. HA! I mentally give them a pep talk as they try to repopulate the fallout zone.
