my life in baseball, by the beard

Dave Eggers wrote this short story for ESPN The Magazine from the perspective of a World Series winning beard. I thought it was really imaginative and well done. Check it out if you have a few minutes.

It's having an interesting effect on me, though. I keep imagining inanimate objects having a running monologue in my head now... like as I was shaving my legs this morning I had the voice of my razor in my head, complaining about how long they were and how much work he or she (didn't get the gender) had to do. Then my towel was pretty upset with me for getting it damp so early on a cold morning...and so on, and so on. Funny thing to think about. If everything had a voice. Might be a good writing exercise.
