Well, Blogtoberfest has been a good time this year, and I’ve gotten nearly a post a day done. That’s good enough for this guy. Now, it’s time for something less labor intensive: growing a scraggly and mediocre beard:

Ironically, I had thought of combining “November” and “Beard” a day before my friend Brad told me about Movember, which is all about growing November moustaches for charity. Sounds pretty good, although I don’t really like moustaches very much, at least not when they’re on my upper lip. Like most people, I prefer to simply admire them from afar; look, but definitely don’t touch. But I may go in for  Movember and start growing my own personal “moustrashe” eventually. 

I don’t have many talents, but I’d say growing a trashy beard that most people dislike –except Angela, inexplicably– seems to be one of them. So we’ll see where November takes us. It’s a journey, after all… a gross facial hair journey!
