After 37 days of growth my beard took to New York City for a short dip back into the real world of computers, cellphones, and people. There were mountains, yes, but mountains of buildings, and even bigger mountains of people on top of people. My beard even overheard 47 different foreign language conversations in one day. What follows is a small snapshot of my beard wandering through the masses.
This is my beard in Brooklyn overlooking downtown Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. 
This is my beard outside of the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Columbus Circle. It wasn't as impressive as you might think, Donald Trump being Donald Trump and all. 
This is my beard after watching the hilarious new Woody Allen comedy Whatever Works. Larry David is at his finest in this new film, and my beard strongly recommends you see it. Note: Larry David may be larger than this movie poster suggests.
This is my beard at Belvedere Castle in Central Park. The Castle doubles as a weather hub and birding hotspot. 
This is my beard, with sunglasses, in Central Park.
This is the guest beard of the week, my tentmate Aaron. Aaron is from Ohio, enjoys gardening, learning about beekeeping, quoting any number of movies and songs, and both chewing on and baking with rhubarb. Quotes of the Week:
Guy on street in Brooklyn at 2 am: "How you doing?"
Me: "Ok."
Guy on street in Brooklyn at 2 am: "Wanna buy a camera?"
"That'll work won't it. You can do it can't you?" - My team leader Rob, every day, 7 times a day
"We'll put that in our pocket and save it for later." - Rob, discussing rocks that don't quite work
This week my beard is feeling:
Unusually Civilized
