November 4, 2012 - Close Shave?
In case you haven't heard, it is No Shave November this month. This means that men who choose to participate have a whole month off from the daily grooming task, and as a result, we will all suffer.
Ed is participating this year. But in an effort to avoid paparazzi and fantasy facial hair fanatics, he will not be sharing any pictures of his stubble growth. We will all just imagine.
The dog will not shave in November either. But she is not the shaving type in general; it is not how she rolls.
But if any of you subscribers wants to share some No-Shave-November-in-progress pictures, we would certainly post them, neither hide nor hair excluded.
This is also nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) write a novel in a month month, and cook a turkey in a day month. We welcome you to share all your experiences of both with the community.
The Dog of the Week is Rosie, an adorable combo breed; the Cat of the Week is Oscar; he's the shy type. Kelsey Abkin, our Teen Voice tells us which literary character she aspires to be. The Urban Hikers get answers to their questions; Marc Liberts is not a snob, and Edda got the week off, because no one has any troubles this week!
