Movember comes to an end

Movember has come to an end. I am very pleased and proud at how our team, the Mo Stashed Hairiers, came through at the end. Of course this was impossible without the support and generosity of all our sponsors. Please go on over and have a look at the moustaches, the men (Mo Bros) behind the mo's and the supporters behind the team (Look for the Sponsors On A Roll.)

Also note how other teams with past associations with us helped us raise combined donations of over $10,000. Click on the link to see how Movember closes with a BANG.

Movember Has Begun. Time for the Mo Grow

With the start of Movember most of my blogging efforts this month will go into my Movember blog site,The Mo Stashed Hairiers. Please head on over there and follow our fortunes. I have also added two pages of information on prostate cancer and on men's health issues which I urge you to read. Women, if you have a significant man in your life I recommend you read it as well. Quite a large proportion of men finally get to see their doctor because their wives are persistent about the need for them to do so.

To the men I say, with Nike, Just do it! You can do it! Get your checkup!

Clean Shaven for 1st Movember

Yes! It has happened - finally- and here is the evidence.

Let's do it! Enough talk and build up. Time for action.

Off it comes!

Great support from Mo Sista Ingrid, eh?

Those chops look really great but they will have to go...

Is Ingrid really starting to have doubts at this stage of the proceedings?

Using Skype video Judith is able to see the damage after Round 1 between me and the beard trimmer from her dorm in Kingston. She laughed uncontrollably for 2 minutes. That made me feel really good.

Round 2: The Down Shave

This isn't so bad. Shaving technology has come a long way since my last shave nearly 40 years ago.

Ingrid's reactions really made it easy for me - Yeah, right!

Round 3: The Up Shave

This is the part you really have to get smooth: The "Mo"

Ingrid couldn't resist: enough looking, let me feel! And my face wasn't even dry yet.

At some point I started to wonder why I had waited nearly forty years to do this...

Ladies and gentlemen... The "No Mo Bro"

If I play my cards right, I might just get lucky tonight :-)

Who's da man?

For the rest of Movember I will keep my beard shaven but will gro' my mo.
