Return of the Handlebar!
That's right, the 'stache is back. Foolishly I trimmed it last summer to satisfy some catering customers, and after months of preening (actually, none what so ever), I've got "a hirsute appendage of the upper lip, with graspable extremities".
One thing about moustaches such as this: You've got to wear them with a smile. When you frown, the handlebar hangs above your lip like on of those cheesy, fake costume ones. But when you smile, it comes to life, drawing everything together, like it is fully a part of your face. Handlebars just say happy!
Now that I have a job that has me traveling all over 'The Cities', I've met a lot of guys with some really cool 'staches. It's kind of an instant brotherhood. I'm thinking it might be time to start a Handlebar Moustache Club of Minnesota. I could make up some business card, have monthly meetings, contests, and so on.
After all, it's not like my life isn't busy enough!
Well, Sweeter Half just reminded me that I ought to be focusing on next week's sermon instead of gloating.
