It was a beard. It was a white beard but it was also a full beard. The day was bleak and hard and cold but he had a beard and this made him feel safe. It was a good beard.
Merry Christmas!

Why Hemingway Grew a Beard
This is an easy one. Ernest Hemingway grew a beard because he wanted to look like Santa Claus!
It was a beard. It was a white beard but it was also a full beard. The day was bleak and hard and cold but he had a beard and this made him feel safe. It was a good beard.
Merry Christmas!

Alice Munro Turned Down for Christmas Job!
LATEST SCOOP
Since a prize-winning author can't live on New Yorker magazine checks alone, Alice Munro recently applied for a part-rime sales job at a local Winnipeg department store. LITERARY CIRCUS has obtained a transcript of the job interview:
"What's your background?"
"Writer."
"What do you write?"
"Stories. Novels."
"Ugh. Where?"
"They're mainly published in New York."
"Too far. We sell to a customer base here. Any special qualifications?"
"I won a Nobel Prize."
"Never heard of it. Thank you for your time. NEXT!"
