Mom was worried the roof would come off but she coudnt get all the expensive

;-) Odd how that happens!  Mom's got white hair now.  She was shocked to see
a pic of me and that i now have the same grey 'widows peak' formation she had
for ages.  It's actually quite attractive i think, much like when men start
to grey just at the temples for a long time.

Grin, a friend at work is jealous.  She's got the normal 'bit of grey
everywhere' that most get.  Sure, I have some of that too, but the shock-wave
at the peak is distinctive and quite nice!
