Losing your hair sucks, but it’s a common ailment that affects an increasing percentage of adults. While hair loss is commonly associated with old age, it affects a significant number of younger adults as well. An estimated forty percent of men will experience hair loss by the time they reach their mid-thirties. While much more common in men, hair loss also affects women. Permanent or temporary hair loss is especially prevalent in women over the age of forty and women who have recently given birth. Regardless of age or gender, however, hair loss is often a cause for concern in anyone affected by it. Thankfully, modern medicine provides numerous options for those looking to restore their full head of hair, from topical medications to laser therapy to hair transplant surgery.

If you've ever seen me in person, you'd realize that I'm NOT a huge fitness buff. I have chicken arms, a beer gut, and I think my mile time is somewhere around 15 minutes. While I've, admittedly, slacked off the past couple of years, that doesn't make me anti-exercise. In fact, it's quite the opposite—I'm looking to get back to my prime in a big way.

I don't typically like to brag, but I really used to be able to pound down shots in my day. I'd even chase them with a nice, frosty cold one.

As a child, I was always stuck in the goal during gym soccer because of my lack of athleticism, horrific stamina, and inability to kick a soccer ball. But hey, I could manage to get some lucky saves once in a blue moon. How skillful of me.

Economics can be, admittedly, a pretty boring subject to casually read up on. Not everyone is a fan of how the US economy—or any economy for that matter—works.
