Hair Apparent

It’s been interesting observing how hair plays by its own rules. I didn’t pack a razor when I went out of town last month. I noticed that some of the hairs in my chin were a shiny light blonde, nearly a whitish blonde. I though to myself that I’d better lose that scruff asap. The other day I saw those same color hairs on my forearms. My forearms!? How weird is that?

I have also noticed that some of my regular hair that used to be assigned to the crown of my head is growing out my nose, eyebrows and, get this, my ears! The eyebrow reassignment bothers Rachel more than I me. The nose hair is personally annoying, and the caterpillars crawling out from my ears are driving me nuts!!

So this is what growing old is like.
