Yesterday, I shaved my beard completely. It took about 4 iterations of razors after the scissors. Now I'm looking very young, and I'm finding it very strange: I've had at least a goatee for about 2 years, and for the past 2 months, I've had a full beard. So now, the weakest breeze tickles my chin.

In terms of family size, I am very privileged: I have 10 uncles and 10 aunts (7 + 13), and 23 cousins. 14 cousins on my dad's side. They follow an approximately normal distribution. A few years ago, this wasn't a pleasant thing, especially when 4 or 5 preschoolers would meet.: you could see the glee phenomenon, and it was quite annoying. But nowadays it's fun to see them growing up every year, and knowing what they're up to. One of them, Arthur, plays guitar in free jazz band, and we're going to schedule a jam.

I also got to speak with Tio Luís, who I didn't know because he used to live away in the country, but he recently decided to move back to the city to retire. He made many jokes about stutterers and Spoonerists.
