I'm sorry, I must insist this cannot be the end of the end. Sometimes I insist on things, even when I know that I am wrong.

@Mackle, et al... one and all... you've all made this quite an enjoyable experience, one worthy of my full participation. It is with much regret that I did not rise to the occasion to participate fully after Xmas. My life has been hectic, filled with moving to the new house, taking a promotion at work, broken cars in my driveway and garage, drama of my father being swindled of all his money and stranded in Thailand. And more than enough beyond that to keep my mind away from reminding myself to post daily, or honestly caring enough to do so.

I wish I'd had the chance to go to the TD, it appears to have been epic from the stories I've heard, the photos I've seen, and I'm sure I would have enjoyed if I had the time and ability to go. I always intended to go from the start... but could not make it. I'd be damned if I'd give up on my commitment to Whiskerino though. In these last few weeks, I really wanted to trim some here and there, but well, I refuse to allow myself, because my untrimmed beard was the one last thing I had to contribute to Whiskerino, even if I couldn't show it as often.

I guess what I'm trying to say is... So long, and thanks for all the fish!
