I had my hairs cut yesterday. The stylists literally said, "so, you're getting some grays" as a conversation starter. I have never met this woman before, how does she know that I'm just now getting them? Maybe I've had this silvery group around my ears, in my sideburns for years. I felt like responding, "so, I see you're getting a little fat."

But I resolved, long ago that I'll never dye any of my hair. That's just not how I roll. I've never dyed my hair. I've never had a buzz cut either. Wish I could have one, but it probably wouldn't play well at work. But ideally, I'd bleach my hair blonde for a day and then shave it all off. That would be fun. I'd look extremely ridiculous with blonde hair.

As soon as I start greying, I'm going all grey. The beard can be whatever it wants: stay red, half red half grey, all grey, whatever. I'm actually excited to just go all in on the silver when I can.
