Who Is That Unmasked Man?

And why are Larkin and Finn kissing him?

Last week, Emile was called down to Irvine for one of his very occasional work trips. Apparently, one of his co-workers was trying to convince him to shave off his beard. When he offered $10 as motivation Emile demured, pointing out that Larkin and Finn had already been asked if they wanted to see what Emile looked like without a beard and declined. So co-worker proposed to give the kids the $10. Emile called us to see what they thought. Larkin and Finn decided that, as long as they could split the reward money, the plan was a go.

Amusingly, when we dropped Emile off at the airport, Larkin had mused that if Emile returned with no beard we might not recognize him.

24 hours after his return, we all still do a bit of a double-take when looking at him (as does he when presented with a reflective surface). The general consensus is that we are all ready for the beard to come back. Here is the 5-second-later follow-up to the above photo:

Not big fans of the stubble.
