In my Miss Manner’s Etiquette book from circa the 1950’s, When men are walking their special lady on the sidewalk, men are supposed to walk closer to the side of the road – so as to protect their ladies from being splashed by mud from passing cars!
I remember those days. In my 20s with a full beard and a handlebar mustache . I can’t quite remember why I though it looked good, although I was working in wilds of Wyoming and probably thought I looked like a mountain man. It disappeared when I moved to the corporate office,
Michael is a go-nowhere. He never reads a book nor does he volunteer with any civic organizations. During high school he never played sports nor was he was involved with Boy Scouts. Boys his age realized that there are only so many opportunities out there, and those opportunities are given to those who get out there and make something of themselves.
In the UK beards are very popular with men of all ages at the moment. I quite like a neat beard on a chap, although some men can’t really carry it off.

Looks a lot better. Bet Rhetta is mentally thanking Elly. Some men can wear beard well and keep them clean, combed and trimmed. Mike isn’t that guy.

LOL. As I said the other day… This is the beginning of Lynn Johnston trying to make Michael out to be some sort of intellectual..

Mike is a guy that ALMOST knows what he is doing.

If he could sing and / or play a guitar, he could be one of the early 1960s musical acts, like the Kingston Trio or the early Beach Boys…
