Goodnight Beard

Goodbye Beard

I'm a few days behind schedule because of equipment issues, but tonight I say goodbye to the beard.

Goodwill Towards Beards

The best thing about Beard Month is that each one is better than the last.

T-shirt/Tuesday

This seems appropriate to have with me over Thanksgiving.

Price Check: He's 27

If you're reading this blog, you already know: I'm 27. It happened saturday night, sometime around 11/10 central. I passed that milestone alone, on my old curried leather couch, with some chinese takeout and a small leather pillow by my side. It was a reflective moment; a lot of really good things had happened over the past 30 hours:

☜ Joanna had acquainted me with another alternative menstruation device (A.M.D.), the PIMP. Only slightly less revolting than the Moon Cup, and just as terribly named.


"The fun colors and patterns keep me looking forward to the next party..."

☜ There had been a world geography quiz, allowing me to revel in one of my talents (i.a. geography/capitals, parallel parking, shellfish).

The winning entry, submitted by Schmatie, was lost in or around The Essen Haus. Instead, here is Martin's 2^nd Place submission. Africa, along with Eastern Europe and Central Asia, proved to be significant stumbling blocks for most in attendance. Not to worry, I'm currently working on a study guide to help with these problem areas.

☝ Beets!

☞ Beards, corduroy, jackets, elbow patches, ties, & sweaters. All in one place.

☝ A group march across Monroe St., with flags.

☜ Things in my 'stache.

Girls in 'staches. ☞

☝ Beer in boots; eye patches.

☜ A price check at the dollar store involving 2 cashiers, a trip back to the item's aisle, and at least 5 minutes. Turns out that cup was $1. Just like everything else in the store.

Final status of birthday 27: success.

Welcome to Beard Month.

Bearding Through the Ages

For anyone who does not know, November is Beard Month. During these 30 days, all those who can, refrain from touching razor to face in righteous celebration of the Beard. A brief photo-essay of past beards:
Beard Month 2002. Rochester, NY. This may or may not be from my 21st Birthday Party.


The full extent of the beard in 2002, as seen during the Triathalon.


Beard Month 2005. Tommy may have participated for a week. Otherwise I was living with baldfaces.


Beards during Beard Month 2006. Taken at my 25th Birthday Party.


Beard Month 2006 T-shirt. Slogans (and orders) for the '07 shirt will be accepted through November 9th.


The final Beard in '06.


As November comes to an end some choose to continue their revelry and participate in Mustache Week, which is conveniently celebrated during the 1st week of December.

Sweatering in the Laundry Room

Here's a sweater and me by the sink. It's laundry day, and the first day of Beard Month.
