This morning I was forced to recognize to myself that one of the most underrated joys in life is shaving your face with a decent razor after a full weekend of unappealing fuzziness. I do hate shaving, particularly because even with uber-razors like the Mach 3 I manage to cut myself. But it is satisfying to have a nice soft face after a few days "shadow." Women, I feel sorry for you that you don't get to experience the joys of facial hair. No wait. I don't feel sorry about that at all. Jealous.
Almost everyone I know here in Japan has some semblance of a blog. It's fun to "blog surf" through all their pages. So I updated my links page to reflect whose blogs I read are at home and abroad. I've added several blogs that have recently come to my attention. Too bad they're LiveJournal!
I am still trying to finish a half-cup of coffee and my body is twitching. Having an insanely low caffeine tolerance is pretty cool. Then again, it has its disadvantages. Namely, my digestive system hates me.

What's even better than shaving after a weekend is shaving after you've had a full beard for several months.

Yes! I can't explain just how joyous an occasion is after all that itchy scratchy madness to shave. Bliss.

Oh yes--I will be shaving off my beard and mustache completely this weekend. 'Tis been about a year or so since I was "clean". Kerrie will come back from Mexico to a naked man!!!
