Sorry, Dennis... I don't know why I wrote "David."  I well know that your
name is Dennis!   At any rate, I'm somewhat different.  Hair is shorter,
"redder," and I wear probably almost constantly now, thin little cats-eye
glasses, since I'm rapidly losing any ability to focus on things close up.
Beards seem to be "in" in Rochester, so I was betting that if I counted,
they would outnumber clean-shaven in the pictures submitted.  Hmmm.

"Beard" is _raf_ in Teonaht, which tells you my early impression of them. :)
