Movember comes to an end!

December 1, 2011 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

So tonight, my kids helped me cut off my mustache and they are glad to have their dad back again. I just turned 54, so the facial hair that gets you into bars when you’re 19, is not what you want to make you look older when you are, in fact, older.

But the family had fun with the process since they can’t remember the last time I grew my beard out, which about 2004. A friend of mind didn’t’ recognize me at my local coffee store, so I guess I know what to do if I ever need to really go incognito. I might opt for Groucho glasses instead though since the scratch/itchy thing is for the bird.

Bald faced plug: the Dad 2.0 team has already reached over $17,000, but it’s not too late if you want to help out the cause. 33,000 men will die of prostate cancer and the nearly 8,300 men who will be diagnosed with testicular cancer this year. Several important men in my life have died of cancer in the last few years, at least one because he didn’t go for an exam when he had serious symptoms. I’m doing this to raise awareness of men’s health.

If you can, take a moment to support the cause at  http://mobro.co/GreatDad. Even $5 is helpful!

Philips Norelco is matching $15,000 for our team so they deserve some thanks and credit. They sent me the shaver you’ll see in the video I’ll post tomorrow (gotta do that whole YouTube uploading thing). They did ask us to let everyone know that there is currently a $30 holiday rebate underway for the
SensoTouch shaver: http://www.upgradeyourshave.com/?origin=|mckv|sIL5aiqBI&pcrid=8513465214|plid

Senso Touch shaver

It’s usually $199, so that’s a nice saving if you have another Movember sufferer in the house who is keeping the ‘stash until 12/25.

Great Dad Talks
Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews
