Re: Why that avatar?
I finally get to say this...
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"

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. ![]()
