Pfeifllins Pensieve: Movember

This is how Greg looked for all of November. Oddly enough, he had very few questions as to why he was sporting a fu manchu. Well, it's all related to one particular Aussie that we know. He's a cancer survivor and Greg decided to support the cause.

Here's some info about it:

The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.

The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.

Greg had opportunity to speak with a couple of guy about the movement and encourage them to remember to look into their health.

You know us, we're always ready for a chance to dress up in crazy outfits. The company we had was awesome, the movie was good, not great but didn't expect it to me. We're now reading Book VII so that Noel can prove to Greg that the book was nowhere near as boring as the movie made it seem...but familiar with Noel's book-to-movie-inherent-issues rantings, he never doubted it but is patient with Noel and likes it when she reads to him.

We were able to take a couple days off to go to San Antonio for Thanksgiving. In addition, we celebrated Ethan's 3rd birthday!

Ethan's new Ice Cream playdoh machine...what kind of cruelty is it that they make an "ice cream machine" and then the whole time you have to tell the 3 yr old ice cream maker that it's not actually edible
