devil's haircut....

ok, so on my way home from stanford yesterday i decided that i really needed a haircut...i dropped into a 'drop-in' place and was immediately treated to the full haircut experience by a 50-ish woman with aubergine highlights.....who carried on a conversation with a guy from the sherriff's office about drug busts at the other local high school...while she resisted cutting my hair as short as i intended.......her attention to me came in short outbursts...such as 'you don't have near enough grey to start coloring..i only a few strands from this end'.......gentle readers, i had not asked the question about grey, having enough issues to worry about already without the reality of growing old added to the list......ah well......maybe i will just get the same aubergine highlights to cover those pesky grey hairs......
