today i dyed my hair. which isn't the first time i've altered my natural color. there was the one year in high school i peroxided my whole head before a spring break ski trip. this was the gateway drug to having highlighted tips for the next several years on into college. i went back to natural for a little bit and then had a short stint with blue streaks. now i find the cheapest box of black hair dye i can find. i don't know why i keep doing it. i joke that i do it to hide all the grays. maybe i secretly love the compliments. the polish lady who mends all my pants said that i must be european to have such dark hair.
i often wonder how much longer i might continue doing this. i keep waiting for something to switch in me. to tell me that i'm too old to be doing this. but that hasn't happened yet. the grays will just have to wait.

Your grandfather was dyeing his hair in his early 30's. The "Grecian Blue" look. It never looked natural. Actually I like the natural look for men. They look so much better with gray hair than women. As for me, I don't think I'll ever be too old to dye my hair!! :) BTW...you always are handsome to me.
Thanks, Mom. I feel like I have a lot in common with Grandpa.
