You’re Not Alone Jon

A few days ago, around about the time my plans for the gift registry were blowing up in my face I came home from work to see something odd on my head. A white hair. At first I thought it was cat fur, just really long inexplicable cat fur. Although I hadn’t pet a cat in days and certainly not a white one. Then I noticed it was more grey than white and it was attached to my head. Front row centre I can say with complete assuredness that it was NOT grey 9 hours earlier.

I know little about grey hair but the sudden and drastic pigmentation change/loss was quite striking. Oddly enough after years of watching the cowardly and nearly-french incompetent military defense my hairline was effecting against my invading forehead, which is to say a constant war of attrition with sporadic retreats, I found this development more amusing than anything else.

No wonder people think grey hair is stress-related.

God, I’m a walking cliché.
