Back then I had long hair and a beard. Today my hair is cut just as short as his.

Huh. The Mr. Graff post links to one I mentioned in my most recent email.

Huh, small blog.
That’s a link to “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” The Reaper and Scythe are Star Boy symbols. “Zip” implies speed (Fast Eddie) and is also a term for zero (ring, hula hoop).
Graff is also a relevant name for Star Boy.
One meaning has it as an occupational name for a scribe, clerk, or secretary, apparently from the Old French "Grafe", which is a stylus or pencil, giving us "to write". Star Boy has been associated with one of the Secretaries/ Recorders, and in other symbols with names also referring to clerks and writing (as with Clark Kent, Caitlin Clark, etc.).
The character Colonel Hyrum Graff is the administrator of Battle School in Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game. Like the other Card character I brought up in a recent comment, he shares a given name with one of Joseph Smith's older brothers.
Ben, interesting. My Mr. Graff also holds the rank of colonel.
Wait, are we on a Colonel again? We've had a few characters and symbols with that rank running around your syncs.
On the Hyrum name, I suppose it should be really surprising or synchy to see Joseph Smith's brothers' names in these characters, since Card is Mormon. But the name of Hyrum itself is interesting given its meaning of an Exalted Brother, or "My brother is exalted"
Bill, I noticed that same thing about the name Hyrum and how noteworthy that is given Hyrum and Joseph and their relationship. This stood out to me because it is exactly the kind of thing I might have come across in seminary or decades of reading apologetics, but I have no memory of having known what it means.
