Fun With Facial Hair

Last winter I decided to grow out a beard and take it for a spin around the neighborhood. My previous attempt at growing any facial hair was a nasty goatee in high school. So, I thought that since I have more than four hairs on my chin (sorry little Joe) now would be the perfect time to take my new facial hair for a test drive and see if I was a beard or mustache guy. Here is the finished product:
Then I thought, that looks pretty good, but lets try something else. So I rocked the "handle-bar" stache for a few days....until women and children started running away from me and gay guys started winking at me.It took me so long to grow it all out I couldn't just shave it all off right away so I also tried out these two options:
After my little experiment I determined that I really liked the beard. Aside from the occasional soup in my mustache I pulled it off quite well. I don't think I will grow it out again this winter, but I am definitely a beard man. That is all you need to know.

I love the picture with Becca peeking over your shoulder. I think the beard's pretty cool.

If you want to tease Joe about something - he's growing out his sideburns right now and it's a painfully slow (and somewhat invisible) process.

Ssshhh, don't tell him I told you.

If you guys want to see a real stasch, have your dad show you some of his college pics. THAT was a "stasch."

Mine still has some sparse spots but I CAN grow a decent beard - if grey is your favorite color!

My guess is you wouldn't want to wear the one with the little thing under your lip with your "fancy pants" and murse to certain parts of NYC

I was going to post a couple of photos yesterday, but decided little Eleanor deserved the spotlight.

You sooooo rocked the beard broski! That is some impressive facial hair. And you're wrong about the 4 chin hairs, Whitney counted at least 7 last week.

It looks like Ringo on the full beard but Deb thinks it looks like George Clooney on the stach.
