Many, many, MANY thanks to everyone who heeded the first call to turn my face into a Chia Pet for Pledges. Who knows… maybe we’ll all end up with this ⇨

Any ways I have to give thanks where due, and that includes these wonderful people:

• Dick – You get the First PlungeBeard Pledger Award. Thank you and I owe you a bit #1!!
• Shrunken Assets – You’re all responsible to make sure everything’s back where it belongs after the plunge
• Andy and Kayla Kottsick – you guys ROCK! Thank you! Say hi to Charlie for me!
• Uncle Gale and Aunt Sue – You are too generous! Thank you so much!! I wish you great tidings of beardness!

So I’m up to $250 as of this morning. That buys 5 beard growth days. But “beard growth days” sure is awkward to say.

As an English major, I’m going to lean on my license to create words and definitions out of thin air. Ever since the invention of the “Lobleday” (A day when you wake up with NOTHING to do… c’mon I was in college. I haven’t had a lobleday in a decade), I’ve enjoyed playing with words and definitions.

So from here on out, let “beard growth day of days” be known as “beardsly” as in… “YOU AMAZING PEOPLE PLEDGED $250 DOLLARS?!? THAT’S, LIKE, 5 BEARDSLY!”
