Top 10 list of reasons for my beard.
10. To show Michael that I can easily beat him at something.
9. Taking the phrase “emulating our Savior” way too literally.
8. To help disguise myself while working at Lowes.
7. To get a kick out of Brad trying to explain to me that it “doesn’t look good”.
6. To get a kick out of Brad trying to tell me how his beard actually did look good, while he was at Harvard.
5. To have an excuse to visit my brother, reconcile differences, and let him shave it off.
4. To be able to comb Ella’s hair with my chin.
3. Shear laziness!
2. To take a long drink of water before heading off to the desert. (aka going to BYU and not having a good enough reason for a beard card.)
1. Was this undertaking something more, something more subconscious? Is it possible that this showing of dedication and love could be more of an initiation, interview, or an application (if you will) to a very special athletic group in Utah? Lots of people Love Ben H, a person Loves Ben R a little too MUCH ; ) , some people Love Benji, and for some crazy reason, that no male will ever understand, other people love the Bachelor. (To protect the innocent there will be no names mentioned…your secret is safe with me) But for real men there is a love that runs as deep and complex as some of Micheal's recent dates. The growth of this beard shows the dedication and love I have for the sport of hockey, and the ability to grow a playoff beard will help entice the founder of the cheifs to take a closer look at this applicant. I will have to prove my skills when I get to Utah but I would like to let the CHEIFS know that there is a new player coming to town.

I would be honored to be the first to comment on Josh's beard. Bravo, my good man. All the lumberjacks in Minnesota would be proud. I look back with great fondness on the two beards that I have grown on my life: Summer of '98 (working in Michigan building a large building to store cherries) and Summer of '99 (school was out and I grew a beard and went to Tijuana and purchased a 3 foot plaster Indian chief to give to girl that I was dating at the time). Anyway, enough about me... let's celebrate YOUR beard.

Nice job Josh, what an application.
