A ‘Stache is Born

Movember the Ninth

As previously mentioned, I will be growing a Mo (translation - moustache) for the month of November in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. I’ve agreed to document my progress for the benefit of those that lack the mental fortitude (or Y chromosomes) to join me on my journey.

So here we are. The calendar is clear. There will be no client meetings, no blind dates. My bathroom mirror is adorned with photos of the great moustaches of my youth: Zorro, Lando Calrissian, the Swedish Chef, and of course, Keith Hernandez.

These are the men who will guide me through the tough times, give me strength and inspiration. I will need their help, because deep down, I harbor the hope that, against the odds – the long, looooong odds – I can make the ‘stache look good.

But this is only the beginning. My Mo is a work in progress - a blank canvas of possibilities and adolescent dreams. So over the next few weeks, check back in for some pictures, random thoughts, and a rough count of the number people who mutter “Nice ‘stache, D-Bag” under their breath as they pass me on the street or in the subway.

Love,
Mike
