I Got Friends in Low Places
December 6, 2008
Hey All,
The Birthday celebrations are all over and now I am just an old man. Thank you so much for all the well wishes and posts. I feel so loved. It is always funny to see the barrage of facebook messages on Birthdays, but I particularly enjoyed this year’s digital smothering.
I feel older. Either that or I am just bloated. I have big plans for this year. I don’t know what they are yet, but I promise you that they will be big. Rest assured that you will be the first to be informed when they come to fruition. For instance, I decided that I am going to try and grow a mustache. I know I missed Movember by a month, but growing a mustache, however pathetic it will look, just sounds like something a 23 year old does…ya know?
Anyway, thank you for all the love. Hope everyone is gearing up for Christmas, please visit my previous post if you are still curious on gift ideas. You will find all the info you need.

Ben lets face it a mustache will bring nothing but embarrassment and ridicule. It is something that a 23 year old would do, but not you, maybe next year slugger. I have a funny story for you, Today after work I went to Karen Howie’s house. She is Leah’s step-dad’s mom (step grandma), but she is also my professional communications teacher. Anyway every year she has family over to decorate cookies and have a little christmas party. She invited me over and I went after work. When I got there she asked me for a favor I said sure what do you need? “I need you to be Santa Clause!” she said ecstatically . So I got dressed up as Saint NICK (how fitting) and passed out presents to all the kids there. It was a Blast half of them wouldn’t come near me and the other half cried when I talked to them. Don’t worry it shouldn’t be long before there are pictures on facebook. The moral of this story is do whatever you can to pass your classes even if it means being santa for a night.
Words of wisdom From my Buddy Paul at the resort
“A horse walks into a bar, he sits down and the bartender asks him, Why the long face? The second horse walks in with jumper cables attached to it’s head, he sits down, and the bartender says, I don’t mind the long face, but don’t u go and try to start anything!”
Having had a mustache for almost 30 years, I can give you good advice. And imagining what I look like will help you to decide whether you want one or not. Want to look like me? I thought that might change your mind. Seriously, I have always liked my mustache. Try it and see if you like it and if you don’t, just shave it off and we’ll never know what you looked like. Glad you had a nice birthday.
Love from Fr. Bill
