On or off?

In the grand scheme of things whether or not I have a beard is unimportant.
I let the little facial hairs grow every November as a part of the Movember movement.
Officially, one is supposed to grow a mustache, but, you see, I already have one that I like and just don't feel like starting over.

Really, it's about calling attention to men's health and prostate cancer in particular.
I suppose what I'm into is more No Shave November.
It's really an excuse not to shave.
By the end of the month I kinda like it and keep it around for awhile.
GS really liked it, MB seems to like it, too, some others, not so much.
I have now reached the stage where I don't care either way.

Growing the face fur goes way back.
I may even have a picture somewhere of the first time I actually had a beard, sometime in the mid '80s, but that will have to be on another day.
I didn't grow another until about 12 years ago and I kept it out of spite until the opportunity arose to shave it for charity.

Ultimately the mustache was sacrificed, as well and I was relatively clean shaven for about four years.
That was when I started the November crop.
Below are from various years since I started the routine.
The last one is the current crop.
