so, i’ve decided that i’m neither shaving hair nor beard until the day we leave for china to bring our son home.
i guess it’s my way of keeping vigil for my boy.
our best guess is that we could travel in the oct/nov range. so that’s 90 days or more.
unfortunately, since i’m somewhat follicly-challenged, i’m afraid that i might end up rockin’ the michael bolton bald-on-top-mullet before it’s over.
fair warning: things are about to get ugly.
every monday, for as long as it takes, i’ll post a pic showing my progress.
if nothing else, maybe it will garner some extra prayer on our behalf - “Dear GOD, please get that boy home so that we don’t have to look at that mess another day!!”
p.s. if anyone else is looking for an excuse to let themselves go, you’re welcome to join in the vigil. come on - let’s hair it for henry!!

If it helps I have an extensive collection of baseball hats…though I’m not sure how well they will contain a mullet. The only solution for your beard would be to wear a catchers mask. Just a thought.

Let me just say that if ANYONE can pull of a Michael Bolton mullet it is you my friend. Just watch, you’ll do it, then Steve D. will do it, then Don, then Greg Stoner… I predict a trend starting with you Stephen… mark my words.

I assume this includes nose hairs?

I’ll be pulling for the eventual Mountain Man beard. That’s going to rock.
Also, I love the name Henry… it’s perfect.

So I had missed the conversation Sunday evening explaining the new growth ~ I thought something looked different about you…
Hmm, how can I join the vigil?
