Not Yet Amish




Many who know me (Jesse) know that I am fond of exaggerations and the frequent use of hyperbole when telling stories. This is not one of those cases. As I have been consistently burned by the countless computers, PDA's, cell phones, and overall technology in my life, I am now tempted to become Amish (or at least some variety of sect that will still allow me to watch The Office every Thursday night - not much to ask considering the beard I plan to grow). I feel that the life would at least provide me with some peace from the war that the Techno-Kingdom has launched against me. Yet, here I am again tapping into another area of technology - "the blog". Eeesh!


My primary purpose for starting this blog is to solve our lack of communication with friends and family, especially as our baby arrives. I believe this blog will also serve to fulfill my Southern California need to display all our drama for the world to see. So here goes.

If you can actually grow a decent beard, then I'll give up technology.

Indeed, that is also a hurdle - though I could just braid the hairs that grow into one beautiful tapestry of patchiness.

Jess,

Experiment if you must, but loose the braided beard before our next family picture, more bohemian than I'd like, and don't you know, Dale and Dustin would have to grow and braid one too, just to prove they could! m

If you grew a beard and braided it, you would officially secure your place in my book of heroes.
