Your beard is among the greatest ones I've ever seen! (Needless to say that I envy you for that. Why does my hair grow limit to a light moustache!)

Back to the topic:

My avatar is a character from one of the oldest piece of literature, Gilgamesh from the epic of Gilgamesh. I haven't actually read it but it certainly is in my books-to-read-next list... Here's a wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh

ps. The picture was found by randomly googling "gilgamesh"

Lellu,

Thank you! Nice complement! My beard grows... this is the first time I haven't shaved it off during the summer and it hasn't been as hot as I expected it to be. The growth maybe due to my higher protein, low carb diet (to help control my diabetes), or maybe it is just genetics - my father never had a beard or moustache - he didn't like it "curling in on itself and making him itch" - and none of my mother's brothers ever wore much facial hair... although, my brother had (and I think still does) have a wicked handle bar moustache - he waxes it and everything... me, I don't wear a moustache... my wife doesn't like kissing one!

Oh well, enough about a beard...

Just wanted to thank you!! And cool avatar that you have!!

Regards from Texas,
Ted

Wanted to show my leanings to the Yes camp, and I'm huge fan of Roger Dean. This is a lesser known work.

Ted - I think you're just trying to get in with the ZZ Top crowd. Now they could use a professional Cowbell player.
