I've had very limited connection up here in Ogunquit. Stealing a wireless connection is tough when they shut off their router when they aren't online. Anyways, I found the Double Dare flag and am making my way to the halfway point. FIGHT! Since I'm feeling down on my beard, I'm letting Microsoft Paint work its magic. A cellphone camera was the only convenient technology to use tonight. I promise I will not let everyone down with tomorrow's wrath.

40 year beard-off prediction

Here is what it would look like if we decided to make this battle a life-long journey. I'm on the right.

01/11

After seeing MH's Greek beard manager, I felt the urge to get really drunk in Maine. Then I forgot to take a picture because I was so down on my beard. I really feel like I'm down for the count. Here is a morning photo. Take 13 hours off, six chick drinks and you have my 01/11 photo. Enjoy my morning puffiness.

Day 11

I have some Greek in my corner as well. Evangelos wills my beard to grow. It shall be so.

What can I say but I am sorry,
I apologize for what I do to you,
my daily ruthlessness and cruelty.
What can I do but ask for your forgiveness
and your patience. For someday,
I promise you, someday I swear
on the beards of the prophets
and on the beard of the poet Whitman and
on the beard of the president Lincoln,
I will not stop you any longer,
I will let you go free

- The Great J.R. Solonche

Day 8

As my beard grows so does my understanding of the world.
