chookooloonks: So what your saying is that there are downfalls to living in Trinidad? Hmm…damn.

dagny: it’s been added to my b&n wishlist

jacynth: the cool thing is that all the women in my family start off with a really cool grey streak in the front of their head. So that might be fun..maybe…one day.

lux: So, I’m getting old! Sad..

jes: ok, that made me laugh. But you are filled with splendor! Promise.

When I find gray hairs (and OMIGOSH, there is one going awry RIGHT IN FRONT), I remind myself that the Bible says "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life." (Prov 16:31)

So. See? See how righteous I am? Filled with splendor?

What? No?

Shut up.

well, i'm living proof that grey hairs are NOT a sign of maturity and more just proof of getting old.

So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness

Grey hairs are awesome. Had my first one when I was 22, now they’re sprouting all over the place. I give in. You should too. Embrace the gray!

The Tao of Pooh explains Taoism using examples from Pooh. When I taught 6th grade social studies and had to try to explain Taoism to the kids, I used the book. Since they loved Pooh, they totally got it.

jonniker: awww thanks! And you have really, really pretty Lenny-tastic hair.

bone: speaking of Spiro, did you know that on this day in 1973 he resigned?

...I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep...

Don't fret the gray hairs. Let me pass along some words of encouragement that have not helped me one bit over the years: "Gray hairs make you look distinguished."

I'm 33. You're 22.
I was alive when Spiro T. Agnew resigned. You were negative ten.

There. Better?

Or I could always hum The Gambler.

On a warm summer's eve. On a train bound for nowhere...

Oh man, gray hairs. My whole head, incidentally, is pretty close to gray in that the color (my natural godawful color) is gunmetal, which is so not hot. And so I color it.

But you are a doll, and it is lovely to be friends with you even from this distance, and not because of any of the reasons you just closed with. Don’t make me hug you.

ducklet: you're very welcome! and dude, I'm thisclose to going to teqcon. Damn you and your booze!

dagny: the Tao of Pooh? I need one! That is a great quote...
