Heh.  You don't need to tell _me_ that!

My mother,  who I see only every so often,  had cataract surgery on both
eyes between our last two visits.  When we were up there last she was
astonished to note that we were both "going gray"!  Nothing new, 
there...

In their 40s?  Jeez,  makes me glad I don't live there.
