Facts about water:

• Unsafe drinking water and lack of sanitation kills more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
• More people have access to a cell phone than to a toilet.
• Every day, women and children in Africa walk a combined total of 109 million hours to get water.
• The average American uses 159 gallons of water every day – more than 15 times the average person in the developing world.

My beard is very long. I spend most of my time working from home, so I do not feel the need to keep it neat and trim like I used to.

People treat me differently now.

• People smile at me.
• Call me Santa Claus.
• People ask me how long it took to grow.
• Other men with beards tell me stories of their beards.
• People yell over that they like the beard.

I need to get a more professional look, but it is fun for a while.  But I am not sure I can stand all the Santa references around the Holidays.
