I had planned to shave my beard down into a goatee this weekend, but now I've thought better of it. RG, who indeed had a leisure suit -- Hunter (not Charlie) Green (not Sally) with light-green thread. Actually had my college graduation picture taken in it. With a pukka-shell necklace, no less. Ouch. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 15:04:07 -0700 From: Lee Wessman Subject: [RS] Re: shindell-list-digest V3 #314 > From my July 17th post to the list: And for a title, I'd pull >something . . . anything . . . from "The Courier." OK. So gloat. But can "Live from the trenches" at least be, like, the subhead or something? Then I can gloat too. - -lee, sans goatee (and sans gloatee, too) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 19:01:09 -0400 From: "Norman A.

And though the song was written for piano, I would imagine Richard could do an amazing job with it. << I was listening to the LATE FOR THE SKY album alot, especially "Fountain of Sorrow" and "For a Dancer". Words can't express (or at least I can't think of the words) how deeply "For a dancer" hits me. That and Dar's "After All".

It's so Richard... especially that part about "it makes your famous daddy look so dumb". I'll also echo that call for anything by Gordaon Lightfoot.. "song for a winter's night" perhaps.

It blocks the face (which ok i'll give ya that's a good thing in some cases) but on good looking men like Richard ...uh uh. So since i'm stuck in KS when we never get Richard here (although rumor has it Feb may bring surprises and not just of the Lucy kind :) ), someone who is going to an upcoming show needs to tell him to shave for me :) Aw Gene....no offense....they just hurt and look like crap :) :) hehe..nothing personal As for the book-i'm glad you liked it-wait'll you see what i got up my sleeve next ;) Retreating back to my world Kristen <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hey you guys, Kristen, with a lot of time on her hands now that the Lucy book (which I saw last night. Very nice, indeed) is done, noted: >> Oy...a beard?? What is up with all the men that I think are good looking >>going and getting damn beards. << Aw shucks...I'm blushing... Seriously, I've been growing a beard since Falcon Ridge, and I don't think anyone has refrained fom commenting either positively ("That doesn't look TOO hideous") to negatively ("Grow it real long and comb it up over your face"). I could grow a third nose and less people would comment. Is it just a how-about-this-weather type conversation starter? Is it some sort of hidden ethnic stereotype manifesting itself? Is it the Oreo crumbs? I have no idea. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Get more from the Web.

Davis" Subject: Re: [RS] The whole beard thing Don't forget, however, that some guys want to grow a beard the same reason some people wear turtlenecks: tohide a less than ideal chin. Then there is the testosterone statement: No hair on top, lots everywhere else. Then there is the generational/political statement, as in "Hair!" The other good reason for a beard is that when you shave it off youlook 10 years younger. My dad had his until about 65 and shaved it off when young men started giving him seats on the subway. But it is scratchy! lisa davis ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 20:07:30 -0400 From: "Norman A.

That would be another good one for Richard to cover. BTW, does anyone recall the 1980ish John Ritter movie "Americathon"?
