@Beardedfather/Tom, I've noticed it too! Lots more coverage than before. Also, thanks for mentioning my hair, I totally forgot about it! I'm really loving how fast my hair grows back and I'm excited to rock the long hair and beard combo! Although as you can see in the picture, it looks pretty puffy on the sides sometimes. I wear hats a lot and it tends to mess up them up like that. It gets pretty annoying to deal with, but it tends to go away when my hair gets longer. And I'll be glad to PM you and post some more around the forums. In fact, maybe I should be more active on the board, since coming here always helps take my mind off of the harsh reality of life. Much appreciated!

Also, a thank you as well for your encouragment. My boss earlier yesterday and today really had it out for me. I got into it with him a bit, having to correct him on a remark he gave me. Of course, I did it calmly, but still hard enough that I got my point across. He's a young man who many of us feel is not fit to be in a leadership role. Thankfully, he's leaving in 4-5 days for good.

@Begin, I appreciate your kind words and encouragement amigo! And I see that you're a newer member to the board! A late but joyful welcome to you, my bearded brother!

@JD, I'll keep it growing, I promise! Thank you, amigo! It means a lot to me!

Well, hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! God bless and beard on!
