Movember experiment has been trying test

Initially, this seemed like a harmless way to raise money and awareness about a serious health issue. I realized I would be sacrificing my kiss goodnight, and my kiss good morning for that matter, but I thought it worthwhile.

I realized I would be sacrificing my kiss goodnight, and my kiss good morning for that matter, but I thought it worthwhile.

However, not once did I think I might not be able to make it through the month. Indeed, the last two weeks have been a test of my intestinal fortitude.

First, my wife splashed it all over her facebook page about how old and scraggly her husband looked. Not exactly the best thing for the old self esteem. Although it was a blow to my ego, the crack about looking as attractive as an Ozark hillbilly was not nearly as troublesome as the itching and dry skin associated with my debonaire trucker stache. It seemed all I was doing was either scratching my face or trying to move pesky whiskers off my lips. It was becoming comparable to Chinese water torture and I questioned my moustachioed friends about how they kept their furry lip without going insane.

In fact, it got so bad I almost shaved it off last weekend, but I could not let my mogrow bros down. Brothers, we stand together in whiskered solidarity.

This is the final week to show your support at http://ca.movember.com/ and see our progress at the Wheel’s facebook page.
