I don’t know what it is about the fall that makes me feel the need to grow a beard. Maybe it is something buried deep within my DNA. But is never fails that I find myself, in autumn, making the effort without really thinking about it. Maybe it stems from laziness. In any case, I have yet to be successful. I think the longest I’ve ever gone is 20 days–the point at which the itching finally gets to me and I admit my defeat. Will I make it longer than 20 days this time around? I started on October 1. We’ll see…
Why don’t you wait for Movember and grow a moustache instead? I’ll sponsor you!

That’s when I tried it last year. I would wait until Movember, but the truth is, I’m just plain lazy, and having already gotten three days into this, I’m just going with it.
That’s funny. The itching totally goes away on the 21st day.
I’ll let you know on October 22 if that is true in my case. :-p
