It's 11 in the Morning, The end of Movember *

So, final day of Movember, today. Tomorrow, I can shave this thing off my face.

And thank God for that, I say. It's incredibly irritating.

But, it's also been kinda fun. And for a really good cause, so all worthwhile. I didn't get it long enough to wax the tips up, but I always thought that was a little ambitious.

And the good news (from my perspective, at least) is that while the donations hit a very healthy $490 (as of this morning), they didn't get to the magic $1000 mark, so I don't have to walk around tomorrow with half a moustache on my face. Phew.

For those interested, here's the final product:


Not entirely attractive, but not a shabby effort either, even if I do say so myself.

Thanks so much to everyone who so generously donated - given the number of men who die each year from both prostate cancer and depression-related issues, this is a really worthy cause, and a really effective means of raising both funds and - equally as importantly - awareness.

Half a Tree...

... is a really odd looking thing. Imagine how strange I'll look with half a moustache.

Then donate to my Movember campaign, here.

Remember: $1000 by the end of November is what it'll take to make me look like a total goose for 24 hours. Current total: $300, which is a good start, but not enough to purchase my dignity.

Movember - Week 3

Taken with a silly hat, on the crappy little webcam in my office. But at least you can see it, now. And as of this morning, it's long enough to be trimmed with scissors!

You can donate to my campaign here... And if not, then I'll thank you not to mock my Mo.

...Here's mine: Movember 5 days in.


Not pretty yet, I'll admit. Actually looking at it here, it just looks like I forgot to wash my face. It actually reminds me of (showing my age here) of this episode of the classic 80's sitcom Family Ties.

If you're interested in supporting my facial hair growing efforts for this very worthy cause, then my donations page is here.

Now, back to marking. Yay.
