  1. Happy Weekend!
    Question: weekend all day career-planning, bar function with lots of judges present = I must wear a suit? Or, can I get away with something a wee bit more casual? I suspect I know the answer (suit), but please tell me I am wrong so I can be more comfortable . . . . :)

    1. Split the difference and find a comfortable suit? They do exist, it just takes a little hunting.

  3. Call the sponsor – someone there should be willing to give you some tips.

    Regarding the “Looking young …” article, what about the other end of the spectrum? At what age do you stop dyeing your hair and go gray? On men, it looks distinguished, on women ….
