A conversation which occured during a lull in our Tuesday night Bible study, while the 'adults' were talking about something else.
Erin: "I bet Newton had beard. A great big beardy-beard."
Me: "Newon didn't have a beard."
Erin: "He didn't have a beardy-beard? I thought he did."
Me: "Nope, I'm pretty sure he was clean-shaven. None of his portraits have beards."
Erin: "I must be thinking of Copernicus."
Me: "Yes! Copernicus DEFINITELY had a considerable beard."
Erin: "That's because he was a mystic."
Me: "Of course. Being a mystic makes your beard grow beardy. Most of the older scientists probably had beardy-beards."
Erin: "That's probably why Jack doesn't grow a beard." (For non-Gutenberg students: Jack is one of our beloved tutors with no beard and not a single mystical sensibility to speak of).
Ashli: "I would imagine not."
Erin: "I wonder how Ron feels about this?" (Ron, like Jack, is not a mystic, but unlike Jack sports an impressive beard).
Ashli: *shrug*
Erin: "...Now Kepler, he had the biggest beardy-beard of all!"
Yours, etc.

Matt has an impressive beard
Very profound conversation, that is. :)
Hello dearest! It is I, the crazy girl across the...well, I guess I'm not really 'across' anything. So, I'll just say it's the crazy girl who misses you a lot! I did not know you had a blog, and I'm glad to see that you do. Check mine out, if ever you have time:

Love you!

But I don't think Matt is a mystic - actually I know Matt isn't a mystic :)
How about women mystics - can they have beards?
Mergus, I love the way you interact with my blog. You never fail to make me smile.
And, to the crazy girl across the blogosphere (how do you like that?), I will be happy to read anything you write.
