I forgot to add, I'm always surprised to find other Terry Pratchett fans, as his writing is so off-center and on-target. I forget that he is an international best-selling author.
Thanks for giving me consent to paint a portrait (maybe portraits" from the pictures you sent me. I've admired you and your beard, from even the pre-"mybeard" days, and always wanted to paint a portrait of you. I t thus, put a broad smile on my face, when you wrote to me about it. You have an expressive face, that lends well to that. You have beautiful eyes (Would you call that color, "hazel"?) and of course, a beautiful beard. I agree with you, whole-heartedly about most men, looking better with beards, while the metro-sexual man inspires "nada" in me. Take care, my friend. Delighted to know you, if only in the confines of the cyber-world. Hopefully that is a temporary thing, as one can never have too many friends.
