The Great Mustache Race

Again, my brother Jon put it best... My fabulous mustache has since been shaved.

Last week my entire family went up to Higgins Lake for a week of fun in the sun. My Dad rented two cabins for us and we all had a ball, even though the weather didn't always cooperate. You can read more about the week here. But the most important thing that happened was my brother Dave and I decided to grow mustaches. It was dubbed the "Dirty, Dirty, Mustache Race".

My brother connected his mustache to his sideburns while I went for more of an old fashion zapata.

Here are a few things I learned about having a mustache:

• It never hurts to ask for a mustache discount. We got extra laps while go-carting and 2-for-1 miniature golfing.
• I tend to wear more denim when sporting a 'stache.
• My wife was sorta able to fulfill her teenage dream of making out with Burt Reynolds by kissing me.
• Women don't like it when you offer them free mustache rides.

All in all having a mustache was a great experience. I look forward to next years race, we are considering doing it for charity.
