It's self-portrait Tuesday. This is my new closely trimmed beard. I may keep it for a while if it doesn't become too hot. Though today, we are to hit a high of 105 degrees! Am I in Death Valley, the Middle East or the African plains? No - I am in New Jersey! Where else should it reach 105 degrees in Summer? I intend to spend most of the day in my AC enriched studio painting.
