i’m going to grow a beard or gain 65 pounds — maybe both

My favorite brother was here today. Of course, that means family photos…

Looking through them all, I noticed something.

Now I understand I’m old — and with age comes wrinkles. Of course, I’m not thrilled with that; however, I noticed that Carl and Scott are BOTH a good deal older than I am and they don’t have as many.

So all I need to do to look my best is to eat a bunch of donuts and grow a beard.

I need facial hair. Lots of it. That will cover up wrinkles. The other option is to gain a bunch of weight. It’s a fact that heavier people have more fat padding just beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat). That means they also have extra collagen too (the protein that gives skin elasticity).

How would ‘more elasticity’ work at my age with wrinkles already in place? I’m thinking that sounds a bit dangerous. The beard thing? I could TOTALLY figure that out. 😉
