Tribute on 11.22.09

I'm 22 days into a 120 day beard event called Whiskerino. The participants are not to shave for 120 days and post a picture every day. Today I posted a tribute picture of two very important men who died on this day in 1963.

Whiskerino is Over!

It all began on November 1st, 2007. We were in the mountains of Montana when I last shaved my face. The hair follicles have been producing for 121 days. Today is the final day of Whiskerino. Click here to see the progress of my beard in 121 photos. I am tracking who looks at my blog. If I see that you actually looked at my pictures I will know that you are very bored!
It was a fun experience. I am thankful my wife is patient with me. She is a good woman!

1.8.08 = 8 years

Today marks 8 years of wedded bliss with my beautiful bedheaded wife. This morning she gave me the fantastic card shown in the picture. She allowed me to post this picture on this blog and also on the Whiskerino page (Whiskerino is an international beard-growing event). My wife is the greatest woman. God knew exactly what I needed when he brought Kirsten Erica into my life. We have had a blast for the last 8 years and my prayer is that we would have 68 more (I would be 100 years young at that point). Today I give thanks for my hot wife.

Incidentally the date today is 1.8.08 and it is our 8 year anniversary. I hope I am not abducted by aliens today.

Whiskerino 2007

Whiskerino is a beard event that began on November 1st and ends on February 29th. I joined about 400 other testosterone laden men for one hairy adventure. Kirsten is very patient with my sometimes odd lifestyle.

The image on the left if what I looked like on November 1st. The image on the right is the bearded me.
