HIAT-US

So Joe Monkeyweb is on HIATUS, too. Unbelievable. This may have a major impact on my HIATUS plans.

As of right now, I am leaning towards spending a lot of my HIATUS with my dad in his new apartment in Brooklyn. He is getting discharged from the hospital on Tuesday for the 6th time in the last 6 months. The guy just won't quit. So obviously it's going to be important and meaningful to hang with him as much as possible. And I will. I'll probably ride me bike out to Brooklyn two or three times a week.

So without doing the math, it's becoming clear that HIATUS is not going to be a two month solo excursion into immortality. There's too much to do. It's going to be great, but it will probably end up only being a handful of days that I am free to just fuck around or pursue greatness.

Which is fine. But it does make the moustache project even more critical. And with my buddy Joe joining me 'on the chill' (that's slang for 'on HIATUS'), I am starting to dream big.

I think it's a given that Joe will join me in the project. The question is, do we just grow our fur peacefully and organically, let the 'staches grow up together as friends? Or do we turn it into a competition, with daily photo updates and a space for you to vote? Do we shave the moustaches on the final day and weigh the trimmings to determine a winner? Do we pair our moustaches against two other 'staches from the world wide web? Is anyone else out there up for this? Ideas are welcome.

I am not sure I want to tangle with Joe, I think he's had full beards in the past. I'm new to this game.

Thanks for all the reading suggestions. On the strength of two recommendations, I ended up buying Stop-Time, which was in my parents' house for years and always interested me just enough to almost pick it up. Now I am going to read that shit up nice and good.
