Hey everyone. I'm finishing up my final grades for my 10th graders this trimester and preparing my syllabus for my 11th graders next trimester. It's a good morning's work. I've also cleaned up my class webpage and blog.
In organizing things I changed the picture on my webpage to this one that I took last evening. It features the outrageous moustache I've been wearing for a little while now. A while back I shaved my beard into a Van Dyke, and I got a little thing of moustache wax. At first I was doing a relatively normal looking handlebar with it, but I started to get tired of it getting in my mouth and decided it was time to shave it off.
I decided that I'd go all out curling the ends for one last hurah one day and my kids went over the moon with it. So, being so insecure as to desire my kids approval I kept it for a couple of weeks. But it really is getting irratating, so I don't think it will last long.
I'm remembering Dad's moustache in Uncle Mark's wedding picture and wondering how he stood it. In it (if I'm remembering correctly) the whole thing is of equal length. Mine is only long on the ends and stray hairs keep ending up in the corners of my mouth. For Dad to have grown that he'd have had to put up with weeks of those long hairs sticking all over in his mouth.
Maybe it's just me. I seem to have cowlicks in my beard the same way as I did in my hair, back when I had it.

Mike, I love the picture of the moustache, and I like the idea that it is temporary, since I remember what a pain it was for your dad. It's fun to reinvent yourself once in awhile. Have a Happy Spring, Everyone, and we'll see you soon.
Love,
Mom
All I can think is(while conjuring Dustin Hoffman), "Prepare to die, Peter Pan."
Somehow I was thinking more along the lines of "series of unfortunate events." Trying to figure out why, I googled the movie. He doesn't even HAVE a mustache. Maybe it's the eyes. Can't wait until my boys see it (the picture not the movie). Enoch is totally going to wish he hadn't written about Tabitha in his essay about his favorite relative. Anyone who lets you call him banana-head AND looks like a movie star (albeit a strange one)gets a free ticket to the top of an eight-year-old boy's list.
THAT IS WEIRD!!!
you really do look like Captain Hook
