About those portraits of the Strickland sisters
Two days ago I posted an article about Catherine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie and included the best pictures that I could find of each one.

Why I wear a beard
Well, it's not a decision I have to make every morning, like deciding if this is short sleeve or long sleeve weather, it just grows there.
