A confession: I’ve had a lifelong fascination with beards. When I was a small child, I told my best friend that my dad acquired his beard by falling off the roof of the house, after which it spontaneously appeared. I can’t recall the genesis of this story, but it must have held some sort of strange logic for my developing mind.
My dad, a professor of geophysics, has sported a full beard as long as I’ve been alive.
