labor of love

i do love mrs. pike and i'm grateful that the labor of love that i'm growing on my upper lip is making her so happy. growing a mustache is an art, not unlike pruning a bonsai tree. my hats off to the few, proud men who pull it off. my efforts tend to just make people laugh. (last go-around, my boss couldn't carry on a conversation with me and keep a straight face.)

for posterity and my older brother (who had the ability to grow a stache long before i did), here are a few pics from my last endeavor, after little girl was born.

You just need a top hat I think, and a little curly cue on the end of each side. It looks like you were born in the wrong century.

I'm so glad you shared the pictures! I was trying to imagine it, Joe Pike with a stash. Mike is trying to grow one in honor of you.

Joe--it's beautiful! Is this special for May-stach?
