Get your beards ready

• Justin, we are expecting another mustache this year.
  
• Adam, bring back that beast you had on your face last year because it was awesome.
  
• Dr. Gray, yours was cool too. It seemed to say, "I'm a doctor so I need to look clean for work, but I won't hesitate to fight a small mountain lion."
  
• Andrew, you should have no problem bringing back the spectacle you brought last year.

As for the rest of you:

• Ross, step it up. I looked back at the pictures from last year and I'm pretty sure there is a beard in there wanting to grow.
  
• Brandon, I would have expected more from you than you brought last year. You're probably the hairiest one of us, but you act like you're ashamed of it. Let your face do what you know in your heart is right.
  
• Seth, you weren't there, but I have no doubt you'll bring some thunder.
  
• And finally Landon, you completely shaved your beard last year. You've been given the gift of the Beard of Fire and you're throwing it all away. Gillete says "jump!", and all you can say is "how high?". Tsk Tsk.

As for me, I know I didn't bring my A-game last year. An unfortunate swipe of the clippers took a patch of beard away that I wasn't able to salvage. But I brought something. And this year, I'll try to bring even more. Possibly in a Greek style.

Here is what I have so far.  This was taken at my daily nap time a couple days ago:

Notice the lighter browns sweeping into burnt siennas and then into subtle auburn tones?  Pretty creepy huh?  Now get to it!

Man of the Hour

Happy Birthday, sir. How does it feel to be in your 30's?

The cabin has been reserved for March 13-15!  I requested Villa number 8, but she said there is no guarantee.  It will be 75 per night!  So that is a deal.  Men let us plan our games accordingly and I will work on a t-shirt.  I am going to try and make an emblem that looks some what like a beer bottle label.  I am also up for any ideas.  

UNtil THen

Happy Birthday, Adam

Someday you'll be as old as I am, until then enjoy this year. Everyone wish Adam well and then let us return to the more important matter at hand: The locale of WOMV.

Line in the Sand....

When and where is Man's Weekend V? I am putting a moratorium on any further posts until we resolve this issue.

Let the negotiations begin.

Happy Birthday Red!

Sorry to bump your post Andrew, but this is Landon's 28th birthday. Let's hear it for the baby-making machine. When you're done, scroll down to the previous post and chime in on WOM 5.

2009: A Space Odyssey

Well, here's the first post of 2009.

I've spent some time over the break (a yearly tradition) looking back over the old posts for days gone by. It was a worthwhile endeavor. You should all look into it. It was very similar to when Hezekiah (or some Old Testament king) had the books of the law read aloud to remind the people what was required of them.

On the surface, it may appear that 2008 was a down year for the blog. 2006 (our inaugural year produced 12 posts. 2007 was by far our most prolific year with 182 posts. In 2008 we managed 114 posts. But I'd like to say that 2008 was our best year so far. We've had babies born all over the place, job changes (Ross still waiting on that post), people moved. It's been a productive year.

So here's to you, fellow Edna Bloggers. Here's to you, 2009!


Now on to family business, WOM V. When and Where? Adam, any word from gramps about renovations? Aaron, are the first two weekends in March still your best bet?

Discuss.
