Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Manly Man

I forgot my electric shaver in Baltimore. At first, I was just secretly using Lloyd’s shaver, but he took it to St. Louis, so I had to do something else. I decided to get some disposable razors and try shaving the old-fashioned way. It has mostly worked. I haven’t cut myself. I’m not shaving very closely though. It does somehow seem more manly to be using a razor, but I don’t think I’ll convert from electric. It takes way too long.

It kind of burns and soothes at the same time.

And if you didn’t think I could get even more manlier, think again. Yesterday afternoon I went out to shoot guns. I went with my dad, Brent, Harold, Daniel, and Brent’s nephew Kyle. We shot at cans and target papers. I was not as accurate as I’ve been in the past, but it was still fun. And unlike last time we went shooting, I wore ear protection.

It's a good look for me, isn't it?

    You look like a scene from a wild west movie. Let’s photoshop a stagecoach in that picture!

    I think you should print that for your classroom to let the students know that you mean business!

      Perhaps you have time now to prepare a letter to all your students’ families for next fall and include the shot with the pistol. (Shot…pistol…HA! I kill myself…anyway – ) How could anyone have even a single classroom management concern all year once they saw Mr. Manly Serious was going to be their instructor? It’d put the fear of the Lawd in me, at least.

      [Hopefully, no lives were lost during this adventure? I hear only cans were involved. Whew…]

    I would not have thought the top hat would work for that. But it totally does.
