Facial Landscaping

On our way back to Germany Mike decided he would go the extra mile in keeping his face warm from the biting winter cold.  When we landed on this side of the ocean, we immediately felt like we were on spring break -- the temperature was a balmy zero degrees centigrade!  Nevertheless, Mike decided to go forwards with his plan.



I have to admit that the facial hair adds a touch of maturity to his otherwise youthful image (not that you can tell in this picture).  Besides the scratchiness, I didn't mind too much.  He definitely surprised a lot of people when school started again.  The sixth graders absolutely hated it and moaned and groaned about it at each rehearsal.  Some teachers gave positive feedback.  The seventh graders thought it was cool.  Probably completely unrelated, the eighth graders have taken to calling Herr Anderson "Mr. Gangster".  (Don't ask what the original nickname was...)

The cutoff date was Sunday.  Then we had fun seeing what the many faces of Mr. Gangster could be...

Goatee...



Moustache...



All done!



This is my favorite face  :)
