No Shave November

hello world..............whew, that was scary. To state the obvious, this is my first BLOG. The dreaded word that I have ridiculed others for, that I have watched so many fall many fall victim to, that I swore I would never be a part of, here I am. This is really hard for me considering I'm a "keep to myself" kind of guy (see sister-in-law's post "the real Joey"), but I figured I'd give it a shot after being forced by my wife.

So what better excuse to blog than the fact that I have been a pioneering forefather in a monumental movement called "No Shave November". What apparently was started by an amazingly wise college student (see Depravity meets Divinity) and found its way to me via "Mr. Tim" is fast on its way to a global movement. Let me expand.

I noticed Wednesday night at AWANA that Mr. Tim was growing a beard. I had planned on doing so over the Thanksgiving holiday, but Mr. Tim said it was "No Shave November". So I responded "I'm all in". Well, this Sunday morning I told Mr. Tim that we should have consequences for those who didn't make it the whole month without shaving. We joked about it, and Mr. Tim even mentioned it to Speedy at the 11 o'clock Celebration service.

So I am listening to the replay of the Rick and Bubba Show this afternoon, and they are talking about "No Shave November". NO WAY! They are all in (except Bubba, who uses the CPAP as an excuse) and they have posted a link for continuous picture updates of the entire staff. And I digress.

OK, so this story was just an excuse for me to get my feet wet with this whole blog thing, and I promise to provide hours of entertainment in posts to come. I will never top my wife's Grand Fisher Price Theft (because my life is not anywhere near as eventful as hers), but I will try to at least avoid being as "blah" as I sometimes appear (again, see sister-in-law's "the real Joey"). Her picture says it all. Who needs an "About Me" with a picture like that.
