The riveting diary of a man on a mission.
Part III.

Day #15

Admiring my beard with Swarthmore's Moustache November maestro, Martin Warner.

Day #16

The beautiful tunes and bushy beard of Bon Iver provided inspiration on this rainy Wednesday.

Day #17

The musical vibrations of Phantogram invigorate my facial hair follicles at Union Transfer.

Day #18

Taking a STAND with Wes Willison, Tim Be Told, Swarthmore Christian Fellowship, and MyFight.org. The purchase of MyFight t-shirts (pictured) provides money for loans that are used to help empower families to escape the prison of poverty.

Day #19

As Benjamin Franklin told me today, A beard saved is a beard earned.

Day #20

Camus says, Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. My beard and I lounge comfortably in a pile of autumn flowers.

Day #21

Today was bittersweet. I saw the Big Chair taken away. While sitting in its previous location on Parrish Beach, a comforting thought came to mind: even though a Swarthmore icon is now in hibernation, my burly beard continues to thrive each day.
