what a strange day it's been

This morning, I found my first white hair.
I can't even say it was grey - it was almost translucent - but what a strange thing to see on my dark-brown head! It was easily five inches long, which means it's been hanging out there awhile. (When I remarked on how long it was and how I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it lurking there before, Helpful B said 'Oh, I saw that. I thought you knew.' Then he screamed in pain as I went for his shins.)

Today I had lunch with the Premier.* Nice guy, for a politician. He's done some good things for Health Care here in Nova S, so maybe (just maybe) good will come out of his meeting with the Health Board.

And I stepped out of my lunch meeting with the suits and saw this:

No idea if he was looking for his bagpipes, or what was going on....

Later, was blinded by beauty -


and then came home, where I taught C the rudiments of addition and we all stuffed our faces with too much pizza. My boy just glows when he gets a concept. Or a third slice.


*Equivalent to Governor.

Very interesting. Will you remember this day as the day you found a white hair or the day you had lunch with the premier?

Actually, probably the day Cass first started adding in his head.

I had my first grey in my bangs when I was fifteen. That grey was my lonely only until I started infertility treatment. They rampantly multiplied. Now I have highlights. I hate the wiry greys.

Dont worry about the grey. It might have only been a 'dead' one.
Loved your mix of topics.
I am a sucker for Pizza too.
We rarely have it.

I have a grey and I am 21. I love and can't wait for more. My Mom is mostly grey and she wants to dye it.... if she does that would be a shame. I love grey hair... it looks rich with experience.
