Woodshedding is a term musicians will recognize. It can be a used in multiple applications but basically refers to getting away and honing a skill. With our “wake” for my buddy Timmy on the 23rd approaching, as the guy who is putting the gig together, I have to remember to practice so I have my set up ready for 2o minute run throughs in my home office. Wishing everyone a productive ‘26 both vocationally and avocationally.

You hear this phrase a lot. People will often say that you can wear heels to add height. But does it really work? Personally, I view this whole mindset as a sign of weakness. Whatever your actual height, the optical illusion of an extra half an inch, or an inch, or even two inches doesn't actually change anything about you. Plus, the greater the disparity between your dressed and undressed height, the more likely it is to be recognized. Think about a woman who wears too much makeup and uses it to completely change the look of her face. When that makeup rubs off on your pillow case, you wake up next to a stranger - and end up asking yourself who you went to bed with. Do you really want her waking up the next morning and, while you're walking around barefoot, thinking, "Gee, I thought he was taller..."? Or even worse, after you've been married a few years, your wife ends up playfully teasing you about not going out in public without wearing your "tall shoes"... Even though she thinks it's cute and is simply being playful, you'll know she's right. You don't want to leave the house without faking that extra inch or so of height. Keeping that mindset will do nothing but eat away at your self-confidence. I think it's much healthier to own your height - whatever it is. If you're tall, be tall, If you're short, be short. If you're average, be average. Whatever you are, just be you. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, I'm 20 years old so I feel a bit young to be having this issue, but it's been bugging me for a few years now... I used to have really thick and "healthy" hair, but over the last few years my hair has thinned out a lot and is looking patchy. It is becoming harder and harder to feel confident about my hair as it continues and as it becomes easier to notice parts of my scalp. Any tips or tricks to help? I have not been into a hair doctor yet (do they have those?), but I think that might be an option soon... I want to make sure I don't further damage it, though. Thanks, Gentlemen!

I remember as a little kid my mother either telling me to or laying my clothes out for the next day for me/myself. I had first seen valets in my early twenties and again in my mid thirties and just some years ago a friend gave me one and I really really like it so I think I want to upgrade in the not-too-distant future. Do yous guys have one and what does it look like. I'd like to build my own so I'm lookin' at ideas. Thanks in advance, gentleman.
