Movember has Started
Sunday, November 1, marked the beginning of Movember 2009. What is Movember? Here’s a quick description from their site:
Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues – specifically prostate and testicular cancer.
The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The guys behind it joked about 80s fashion and decided it was time to bring the moustache back. In order to justify their Mos (Australian slang for moustache), they used their new looks to raise money for prostate cancer research… never dreaming that facial hair would ultimately lead to a global movement that would get men talking about a taboo subject – their health.
I finally got a Google Wave invite and can be found at jamesoncriley@googlewave.com. If anyone else has an account, feel free to send me a request. Otherwise, just leave your Wave account in the comments.
A while ago, my father discovered YouTube, and decided that he would start searching for possible sightings of him at either Woodstock (the original) or some of the Watkins Glen Formula 1 Grand Prix from the ’70s. Sure enough, he found, well, himself. There he was, at the 1971 Watkins Glen Grand Prix at 21 years of age. Unforunately, the YouTube video disappeared, and we couldn’t find the video anywhere…
So just the other day, I did a search on Google for the video……..and found it! My father Chris Riley (boss of Riley Racing) can be found at film time :13 at the far right, just behind Jody Sheckter. He’s got dark long hair, a mustache, and a white shirt.
