Phase 2 and 3

Well, the general consensus was that I looked more likely to start a bar fight at phase 2:

Phase 2

The consensus for phase 3 wasn’t entirely expected:

phase 3

Bob and Sean had chapel on Friday. They had a great trip out to New Jersey over Thanksgiving break, delivering donations totaling $17,000 worth of food, toiletries, clothing, services (someone donated a U-Haul truck) and gift cards. I finally saw the official list, and shaving my beard was at the $1,500 mark. Not that it matters, as they blew past that handily. At any rate, a dozen or so new mustaches are going to be sacrificed this weekend:

Chester A. Arthur: Biker

It’s like I lost a bet with a hurricane. Actually, it’s like I lost a bet to middle school students. No, it’s more like I lost a bet with Mr. Krall.

Mr. Krall and Mr. Weiting put together a fundraiser for Hurricane Sandy victims. As the middle schoolers raised more and more money, the teachers would have to do various things. At something like $750.00 I would have to wear Chicago Cubs gear for a day and at $2000.00 all of the (male) teachers would have to grow (or shave into) mustaches. Last I heard they had raised over $6,000.00, and if you include various other donations that Mr. Krall and Mr. Wieting put together, I think they were well over $10,000 in money, gift cards and supplies. The two of them drove a truck full of stuff out to the east coast over Thanksgiving break. The name of their undertaking: Sandystache.

I know, it's a shame, right?

So here’s my facial hair contribution. I’m going to start off with a Chester A. Arthur and soul patch combination that I have named the Biker A. Arthur. Then I’m going down to a straight Chester A. Arthur. After that I’m thinking a Fu Manchu; then whatever that beautiful thing on Nick Offerman’s face is.

So long old friend.

Chester A. Arthur: Biker

For those of you keeping track at home, this will mark my fifth foray in Presidential Facial Hair; having completed  a Lincoln (photo not available) a Van Buren, a Benjamin Harrison (which is pretty much my normal bread) and a Harry S. Truman (Who wore a goatee on vacations).

Behold – “The Grape”

There’s a big ol’ purple van sitting in our driveway tonight.  No, we didn’t win the lottery – Lloyd is going to be the school shuttle driver on Wednesdays.  It’s very exciting.

Full of grape-y goodness and students.

I hope the kids will recognize him.  He’s shaved down from the full beard to just a goatee.  I like it, but it makes drawing him a little more complicated.  The all-around face scribble has to be broken up into parts.

I should have given him a more chiseled jaw.

Have you tried drawing Lloyd today? It’s as easy as pie – give it a shot!  Use a black marker, because that boy’s got a lot of hair.

Taxes – Check!

They’re done, with only days to spare.  Way to go, Lloyd!  I have no picture of it actually taking place, but Lloyd said, “Just use any ol’ picture of me sitting at the computer.”  Ok, how ’bout a montage?

Could they be related?

You've seen this before.

He denys that he likes the cat, but...

he likes the cat!

That’s all.   Safe travels to Amsterdam, Brad.  Don’t die, and don’t have any fun, either.
