Movember

This is Ryan. It has been a while since I've posted anything. For those who haven't seen me in a while you'll notice something different about me in the pictures below. For those who ask, "Why would anyone do that?", I respond... Mostly cause it keeps me entertained. However, in a more meaningful reason we are in the middle of Movember. For those of you who aren't familiar with Movember, you aren't alone. In my search for a reason to grow some crazy mustache I found this organization and asked the school's administration if we could participate, and we got the nod. The point of Movember is to shave October 31st and then let your mustache grow for the whole month. As people ask why you are growing a mustache you are able to raise awareness and hopefully some money for testicular and prostate cancer. Now, just to be clear, I had a head start... a 3 month head start, but I had dealt with this thing tickling my nose for too long to start over. :) Anyway, without further ado...


This was actually Halloween. I kept it like this for that whole week. I felt like I might be pushing the limit that the school would tolerate.
So I moved to this. About 9/10 people told me that I should get some wax, but I was way ahead of them. I'd get it all waxed up and it looked like a frigging longhorn.


So here it is today. I haven't trimmed my mustache since the beginning of August. By this time, Kristy is near the end of her patience with my goofiness and I am too. I know why they call mustaches soup strainers.


So now that I've done it, would I do it again? Probably will. It's been fun and my patients didn't seem to mind much. Some didn't even say anything. Mostly it was good for a chuckle throughout the day and kept me laughing and joking.
