It’s 6:45am on a Saturday and I should still be asleep. Luckily I have an eight month old daughter who had a burning need to wake up at 6! What does this mean for you? Super lucky unshowered morning mo!

Whoops, forgot to get a picture up for Movember 5. Here’s my Aloha Friday Movember 6 picture for you. Another red shirt!

Hey look, I changed my shirt! There might be the faintest hint of more stubble in my mo… It’ll only really start to come in in a week or so.

Day three, not much change. My mo is currently an 80-grit sandpaper. And yes, I have changed my shirt. I just happened to wear a red shirt two days in a row.

I completely forgot to get a picture on Movember 1, so this will have to do:

I shaved yesterday, and since facial hair doesn’t grow very fast on me, there’s the faintest hint of stubble today. Which is probably how it’ll go for the next couple of days…

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is an annual month-long charity event where men grow mustaches (or mos) to raise funds and awareness for men’s health.

This year I’m growing a mo, and you can follow along! I’ll be doing daily pictures and posting them here. Movember rules dictate that I start clean-shaven on Movember 1, so that’ll be my first picture: baby-faced Brad. Come watch as I grow my mo and laugh at how horrible it’s going to be!

Oh, and of course, if you want to donate, you can do so on my mospace page. Bonus: after Movember 15 you can rate my mo!
