Moustache Tracking-Day19

I had intended to rock the moustache today at work, but I had insufficient time this morning-it's going to take a good 20 minutes or so to hack away the surrounding beard. I got a little anxious at how I was going to shape the moustache, then I realized it is quite like creating a magnificent sculpture from a large lump of clay-you simply visualize what it looks like when finished, then remove everything that is not in your visualization. In other words, you want to sculpt an elephant, get a big piece of clay, start removing all the parts that aren't on an elephant until voila! I had my assistant Becky take today's picture while contemplating these weighty matters-I will truly miss not being to stroke my beard in order to facilitate or at least give the illusion of facilitating, deep contemplation.
