As my final work weeks of the year close out before vacation, free time has been in short supply. Sorry for the delayed reply gents!
Also, Yuku ate my last reply. Bum deal on retyping from memory.

@brodine
Ewen McGregor? That's funny because Kenny said the same thing way back around week 5.
Thanks for the compliments and support. Keep calm and Handle On!

@bhster
Thank You. I still find myself looking at a developed beard with high cheek lines like yours and thinking "beard, see that? go!"
This is normally when Erik reminds me that my beard is a noob.

@Eddie
Thank you sir for the perspective. Sometimes I still forget that this is supposed to be about growing *my* beard (whatever that means). And to experience the journey.

@Hova
Majestic sounds great! Thank You.
I am not too fluent in French Culture. Did take a few years in language, back in the day. Are Moustaches popular in France?


@Tim
Aha! I was wondering where you had been.
Going on the big travels, eh? That sounds kinda fun! I still have a few weeks of vacation banked in the hope that one day I will take that big European tour.

I went to my new favorite local eatery the other day. The bartenders are good, so I called "favorites"
My only guidance was "I hate Laphroig, so avoid that flavor and we are good."

I called favorite rye, he served http://www.bourbonenthusiast.com/forum/DBvd.php?id=253&task=displaybottling
I called favorite surprise whiskey, he served http://www.highwest.com/spirits/rendezvous-rye/
I called favorite bourbon, he served http://www.fourrosesbourbon.com/small-batch/

I might have to pick up a bottle of the High West. I was very unique, and might be fun to have around for a one off.

Check out the progress of my first beard attempt
