I may have made a grave error in judgement.
I was laying in bed last night while Diana was feeding the baby and decided that today was the day that I was going to shave my chest. Why? Hell if I know. I just did. I haven't looked down to see a hairless chest since before puberty and whenever I hold Gracie she has a tendency to grab fist fulls of my luscious sweater and pull on them. So I thought, "Why not?"
It took about 15 minutes in all and I was very surprised to see how incredibly pale I am. I am used to seeing dark hair all over so to look in the mirror and see a nice yellowish pink is shocking. I didn't tell Diana what I did and waited until she was getting ready for bed and walked in. She looked at me and instantly did a double take and exclaimed, "You are so pale."
I sit here today with regret as I feel the gristly sensation of my shirt rubbing against my stubble. I didn't use a razor to shave, just my beard trimmer, so it isn't smooth at all. I am afraid to hold Grace without a shirt on for fear she will either latch to my man-boob or get razor burn from my skin. I was going to post a picture of what I now look like but it might be looked at as pornographic since I resemble a naked fat chick from the waist up.
Also, there were apparently some stretch marks that I was unaware of that the hair has been hiding and I don't want those out there for the world to see.
That is all,
Newt

Hello there! I'm doing a drive-by on Blogger and couldn't leave without seeing how you're doing. Glad to see fatherhood hasn't made a wise, old sage of you yet ... shaving your chest!! :|
I hope you, Diana and Grace are all doing well ... and thank you to Diana and yourself for the little thank you card you sent, it was very sweet :)
I'll be in touch before Christmas with the seasonal wishes etc.
Take care, old chum x
A good wax job can prevent that razor burn concern of yours. Hehe... :o)
