Monthly Mark: Movember!

If you haven't heard of Movember, but have been wondering why it seems like every man around you is growing weird facial hair, you now have a reason to find out more. Mark is participating in the international charity drive phenomenon (it started in Australia), which is Movember, where men grow moustaches to raise awareness of men's health in general and of prostate cancer specifically.

You can find out more at the Movember Wikipedia page, or the official "Movember World Wide" site.

Mark is doing it alongside other members of his team at work. Mark is staying above the fray of competitiveness (which seems to always happen with these things) by not publicizing it too much, or raising any money. But if you want to give, you can, via Mark's "mobro" site.

And here is the progression. The thing is that you have to start clean shaven on November 1st.

Ada seems OK with it. She doesn't like when he wears hats or glasses, but seems to be OK with facial hair.

Just remind Mark when the time comes to take it off gradually over several days. I predict Ada wi'll freak out otherwise. You did when I shaved after having a beard most of your life. you ran away and wouldn't let me come near for a while...

I think I kind of remember that. But I was pretty old then, wasn't I? Or was that the first time you shaved it and then you grew it again when I was in high school?
