Nice capture, Mikey. Just when I had finally relaxed and said to myself, "Ehh, it's just a couple of seconds. Nobody will notice that my beard wasn't quite 'Santa white' yet..." They called me on a Friday afternoon, wanting to know if I was available on Saturday morning! This was Nov 5th. My first events for the season are actually tonight and then this weekend. So I was thinking I'd have a chance to bleach a couple more times to "get there" before I'd need to make an appearance. I always plan to be camera-ready by mid-November and then work backwards with my bleaching schedule. It usually takes 10-12 times. In that video, I had bleached 9 times. Today will be the 10th. I've actually let it go for a couple of weeks just to give it a bit of a break. I've learned that if I get too aggressive early on, then I could have serious breakage in the middle of December -- not good! Wish my hair was naturally white, but it's definitely not in the genetics on my dad's side especially.

Three days after the Grinning Man, we went to the (London) Old Vic last night to see Glenda Jackson as King Lear. There are actually two productions of King Lear in London at the moment, one with Jackson and one with Anthony Sher. The Jackson one was the real deal - with Celia Imrie as Goneril, Jane Horrox as Regan and Rhys Ifans (he was Spike in Notting Hill) as the Fool. It was uncut, starting at 7pm and ending at 10:30pm. Jackson has returned to the stage aged 80 after 23 years in politics as a Member of Parliament (Labour party). Another standing ovation. Absolutely stunning; a review here https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2016/nov/05/king-lear-review-glenda-jackson-old-vic .

Allison and I will be hosting Thanksgiving for the first time and so we're doing a Turkey trial run. It's resting so not sure how it tastes yet but the damn bird looks good to me

Yeah, the garage is coming along at a snail's pace. Things are supposed to get cracking again next week. Here's to hoping.

Installed LED headlights and fogs in the Jeep.

I think that pizza looks well done. How was the leopard spotting on the bottom?
