Dr. Firkins Marvelous Merkins
I was inspired all out of proportion by the previous photograph, and - while too busy with my own projects, I took it upon myself to inspire my Son. Who's a Thespian, as you've undoubtedly guessed.
I'm like that. Too many ideas of my own, pass it on in the hopes I get free tickets to opening night...

Merkin
Sometimes - albeit rarely, Reddit is an amazing place.
Above, see antique photo of Travelling Merkin Salesman.
Who seems to be wearing one upon his chin as a sort of endorsement, or badge of the trade.
Now - these all are far too bushy for my taste - were I to come across one of these in real life I'd definitely flee in horror - but, something about the trade amuses me and I can't quite put my finger on it...
Imagine, after a hard day of fitting merkins coming home to your wife - "Honey, I'm bushed".
I mean, between the start of the day and the end of the day the many adventures of the travelling merkin salesman. Which I'm sure in every way beats a day in the life of James Bond, I'm sorry.
I most definitely missed my calling.
And - somewhere in this furry mess there has to be a Netflix movie or miniseries...
Oh, and it's very definitely still a thing (I've never seen one in the wild, others must have), but I'll let you do your own google searches and - note the abundance of festive and seasonally themed merkins.

No, I won't be watching this on Netflix, I find it far too disturbing.
But the case does highlight - as did the documentary "Dear Zachary" - the ease with which women get away with murder.

The Dream of Heroes - Adolfo Bioy Casares
A curious book, interesting in the beginning, and in the end. An easy read suited somewhat to my temper at the moment.
