The big beard... trimming will come soon, you will be missed.

Whiskerino was both a great success and failure for me. I had been looking forward to participating for the past two years; and everyone that knew me, knew so.

I almost missed getting invited to the competition, but @mackle allowed me in late. Thank you. Sadly I had several local friends that were not so fortunate. So alone I stood, the sole beard grower in Saskatoon.

I'm sorry I wasn't more active in the community; time wouldn't allow for it. I'm sorry I missed the windup party; I really couldn't afford it. It is unfortunate.

Thank you for allowing me to participate; it was a pleasure to see all the great talent. Thank you everyone for being so awesome. You are all an inspiration to my life and my photography.

I hope to cross paths with some of you in the future and share a pint or two.

My beard will stay (in one form or another) for some time (I hope). It is strong; it will give me strength.
