Day 3 - Movember 3rd, High Expectations...

Day 3.  Fully committed.  Foundation laid.  As the picture shows, the skin of my upper lip is being invaded.  Slowly but surely, my mo is starting to take shape.  I'm just a couple of days away from the second glances that indicate curiosity;

"Is he growing a mustache???   Did he lose a bet????   Are his friends putting him up to this????  Does he own a full set of leather bound encyclopedias???"

Fortunately, my mo has already proved it's mettle.  Only tonight I heard a shriek from my wife.  As I came bounding up the stairs she was distraught over the discovery of one of these on our ceiling...

Naturally, I remain calm and collected.  I have an image to maintain.  After all, I have a mustache. 

I move in to make the kill.  With a swing of a Nautica flip flop, the bug is dead.  As mentioned, the centipede was on our ceiling.  As the flip flop found it's mark, some centipede "shrapnel" was cut loose...falling through the air...on to my mustache.  No joke.  It was gross.  But I felt protected.  This thing is like a bullet proof vest for my lip...

On a more serious note, I really want to thank everyone who has already donated to my Movember campaign.  In only two days, we've raised $1101.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate the generosity and support of everyone.  I have set no limit and intend to raise as much as I can before this thing is said and done.  With the start we're off to, I feel like the expectations are high and I promise my mo will not disappoint.  For those who haven't and wish to, visit http://mobro.co/APK to make a donation. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
