Yep, I went there.



The beard competition continues, honestly I’m impressed Tristan hasn’t thrown in the towel.

The competition has only one rule: One cannot remove any hair from their face
If you do this you must shave your head and the competition ends.

Several by-laws have been created to prevent sabotage, having someone else shave your beard, or any combination of both.

This has lead to a series of mind games being waged against each other, the most notable being the silent treatment (not mentioning the beard), talking about how much I am enjoying my beard and am excited to see how it will grow, dropping subtle hints about how dodgy the other person looks, having third party individuals comment on how bad/good one of us looks with a beard, and asking every poor waitress, employee, or cashier who’s beard looks better.

I decided to take it to the next level and shave my head but leave my beard untouched, I hope you can appreciate the tactics of this.


Not much else is new on this side of the world, the weather has taken a turn for the better and it’s been blue sky’s and ~70 all week.
Other notes of interest:

I’ve got one final left but it’s not until the end of the month.

last week there was a beached whale on dixon beach.

I got my postie up to 92KPH (12 K’s over it’s supposed top speed).

Corlette house is in the process of creating a “Wall of Champions” in which the results of every competition between housemates will be displayed, so far America hasn’t lost.

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, I'll try to keep this thing more up to date with the happenings over here.

  1. America does know how to lose. We only know how to tie or win. That is a lot of hair on your head, I thought you were supposed to "shave it"?

  2. Hi Gavin!
    It is so much fun to read your blog and enjoy your adventures with you! I know Terrie & your Dad will be there in a few days & I look forward to those shared adventures as well! I hope you got a my email with my Picassa Web album pix from Israel. It was an amazing experience I hope you will take one day -- life transforming in so many ways I have a hard time wrapping my brain around all of it. I can hardly wait to see you again -- seems you have been gone for sooooo long! You are missed and I send my love and prayers for God's continued blessing. Love, Aunt Sandy
