What might the future hold?

Glorious beard! The future doth hold something even more hirsute, methinks.
You can only wait with baited breath until the back hair, nose hair, ear hair and eyebrow hair decide to go wild on you one day many years from now! Hehe. Next move: longer head hair?
Kate,
Given summer temperatures here, head hair will be getting shorter, if anything.
Judging by the toque and backpack picture, I foresee closer scrutiny at airports in the future, especially if you’re traveling to the US. For greater effect, change your name to Ibrahim ibn-Mahmud al-Najafi.
Four months in now.
I have trimmed the beard twice, but not been clean-shaven since February.
