On hair

Well, I'm hairless now. The beard will still be there for pirates tomorrow, then it goes, too. I expect I will itch a great deal. Given how long it took, I do not think I will do this again any time soon.

I've always thought of my body hair as an unattractive property. And yet, looking at myself hairless, I wonder if I don't look better with at least some of my pelt.
