Enter the NASCAR Dad

Saturday, December 29th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Last night after a belated celebration of Jen’s birthday and Christmas with Jen’s parents — gifts and a delicious dinner at Springwater Bistro — I was struck with the inspiration for a midnight shave. My ‘stache is well into NASCAR Dad territory now, people. Here’s the before: And here’s my NASCAR Dad after: Still disappointed, […]

Day 8: A Christmas Eve Miracle

Thursday, December 27th, 2007 · Comments Off on Day 8: A Christmas Eve Miracle

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words: I win. Christmas Eve night Tom and Anne stopped in to drop off some great gifts, including my Christmas Eve miracle and my new muse, Hairy Gabe: And then Jen got in on the ‘stache action (I knew she was jealous of this contest from the start): Tom and […]

Day 7: The Shave & Saratoga Porch Diving

Monday, December 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Yesterday was another mostly lazy day with some exciting highlights — the first shaving of the ‘stache contest (the neck hair was starting to freak me out — before | after) and a visit from Hugh, whom I joined in founding the Saratoga Porch Diving Team. But first, lazy updates from the day: I watched […]

Day 6: The Spicy Sanchez

Monday, December 24th, 2007 · Comments Off on Day 6: The Spicy Sanchez

She thought it was hilarious and wished me luck in the competition. Here’s my official entry for Saturday, Day 6 of the ABMGC 2007: Inspired by Peter’s singing mustache telegram: […]

Holly Jolly Day 5

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 · 2 Comments

Yesterday was Day 5 of the contest, and I was negligent in my blogging. Pete tells me that he’s experiencing technical difficulties with his cell phone camera, so that may delay his ‘stache updates. But here I am. So here we go. Last night we rocked the town (as usual), beginning our evening with a […]

Welcome Back, Day 4

Friday, December 21st, 2007 · 1 Comment

Greetings, moustache fans. Pete may have drawn strength from the mystique that is Chalmers and the wonderment that is Chase in Day 3, but tonight I come to you having channeled the power of my ’70s namesake, Gabe Kaplan — the power of the ’70s lives dormant within this older brother’s soul (sidenote: here’s a […]

Is Pete Deep in Moustache Meditation?

Thursday, December 20th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Pete, what happened yesterday? You had a series of blog updates following your official Day 2 entry, and you had this blog entry about Manifest Destiny? but no official Day 3 entry! I hope you weren’t swallowed by a giant, man-eating moustache! Or perhaps you were paid a visit by this guy, and have entered […]
