« Lotusphere Day 4 wrap-up - The end approaches... | Main| I'm sorta thinking more than a couple people woke up each morning at Lotusphere feeling like this... »

And don't tell me it's only men who don't notice the obvious...

Category Lotusphere2008

As part of my session "costume", I went from a full (though trimmed short) beard to a goatee.  Ian (my son) was wondering how my wife would react...

Got in around 8 pm last night, didn't say a word, and neither did she.  Ian pinged me online to ask about the reaction, and was surprised there hadn't been any yet...

This morning, as Sue and I were standing face-to-face, I said "you don't notice, do you?".  She hemmed and hawed, and then went into an explanation about something completely different.  I took her hands, put them on my jawline, and she *still* didn't get it!  I finally had to say "I SHAVED!".  Once she figured that out, she started determining if she liked it or not.  Her feeling was she liked them both...  she liked the grey in my beard, but thought the goatee made me look younger.

I'm still trying to figure out if her lack of attention is a good or bad thing...  :)
