i'm scruffy...

Yeah I look like a hobo, I know...

But there is a reason for this I swear! As you know, my band, The Second-Hand Opera, has been recording for quite some time now. To expedite the process we made a pact, "No shaving until the albums are done."

The work ethic: increased. The results: hilarious and pathetic. I am aware I can't grow a manly beard of biblical proportions. I have come to terms with it.

So there's your answer... This feeble attempt at facial hair is not for Octobeard, nor "No shave" November, and especially not for "I can't believe it's not Beard Wednesdays" at Johnny's (there is no such bar). Think of it more as a playoff beard, something to rally behind.

Despite my gene pool, I think I've done quite well for myself. I'm not even in last place in my band. Observe the standings.


I have a lot of work to do if I'm going to climb to the top of that list. Everyday I stare at this picture to keep myself motivated.
Seriously that guy is epic, I must shake his hand!

See you guys on Monday...

  1. Pat,

    I think because your "beard" has taken you two months to grow you should be in last place. Dave's beard is coming in nicely after only a dozen or so days. Your effort is applauded, however.

  2. Let me have my moment in the sun! I couldn't even grow this much facial hair a year ago.

    And yes I realize how pathetic that sounds
