Gilberto had an animated Twitter exchange with the folks at Build A Beard while in Wyoming over the weekend — they were impressed enough by my “mountain man mode” beard to give it a shoutout on the website under the heading of “First Snowy #proveit Of the Season.” According to the website, build-a-beard.com “realizes the courage to make the decision to grow - to forever put down the scissors and razors - a challenge not only to your character, but a test of will against a society who might not fully understand your DIY artistic expression..” I am truly flattered….errr…..umm….I think?
