Hello, happy Friday, and welcome to my Domain Investing News Highlights for the last week. First things first, the photo above isn’t really what I look like any more so this will be the last time you see it…I shaved my beard this morning, so I’m getting a new cartoon drawn to reflect the new Morgan.
I originally grew the beard because my wife said that she liked it, then yesterday she said, “you know, I think I’ve had enough of the beard” so poof – this morning, shaved it off!
