Those of you who know me know that I’ve grown beards, on and off, for about the last ten years or so. Goatees, largely.
Those of you who know me well also know that I’ve struggled, on and off, with depression.. for about the last twenty years or so. Low on the laugh factor, largely.
So why not mix the two?
Wow. That’s a really, really bad segue, even by my standards. But, still, go with it I must. And that’s the segue I’ve got to move onto the fact that I’ve registered for Movember this year. I’ve never just specifically grown a moustache before… the results could be interesting. But this isn’t just an exercise in hirsuteness, oh no. It’s also a fundraising effort for men’s health issues, including depression. See — I told you there was a link. As such, I’ll be seeking YOUR sponsorship dollars throughout November… and posting possibly disturbing pictures of my upper lip on a semi-regular basis. Or not, if somebody pays me not to.
