Operation: Awkward Mustache. Day #15

Well, it has been 15 days since I started Operation: Awkward Mustache and you’ll be happy to know that I’ve still got it. On a scale of one to Tom Selleck, I guess it would be about a Sean Penn. Well, that may be stretching it a bit so we’ll call it somewhere in the neighborhood between Elijah Wood and Sean Penn. Aside from the one encounter with the weird iPod girl (see DC Josh’s 100% accurate account from my last post), it has failed to mesmerize as much as I had hoped. Comments have ranged from “You can’t really tell from far away, but when you get close, it’s definitely there” to “You’re growing a mustache? I guess I couldn’t see it in this light.” As a survivor of what I call “The Late Bloom” I know that good things come to those who are patient….at least when it comes to facial hair. I made a promise I would keep this thing until I head to Milwaukee for the Twins-Brewers series in mid-May and, damn it, I’m going to keep that promise. In the meantime, I should probably steer clear of signing up to be a tutor at the local community center.
