Mountain "Mann" unleashed....

So before our trip to Argentina I decided to make a bold decision and attempt to grow a beard. The beard was partly inspired by my friend Tim who is in a cast of Fiddler on the Roof and reading the book The Year of Living Biblically.

The good news is that as of Thursday, the beard celebrates its one month anniversary... And Karyn keeps telling me it looks OK so its staying for now. It also protected me from the strong winds of Patagonia in Argentina... I didn't even need a jacket...just kidding.

So as 2008 begins, the year of my 30th birthday, we will see if I can make this beard work.

And today I had lunch with Tim so we snapped a shot of both of our beards. His is rocking, my is ... well aspiring...
