The Graying of America (or at least my head)

This past Saturday, I was sitting on our front step with my dog. My daughter Julia ran out the front door and into the front yard. As she passed, she said, “I see gray,” referring to the back of my head.

Today as I was leaving for work, Noriko kissed me and then said, “Oh my gosh, you have gray in your eyebrow.” (See exhibit A.)

The Eyebrow

Exhibit A: The Eyebrow

I’m not sure what to make of all this. Gray is supposed to make a man look distinguished. Does it count if it’s in the eyebrow? If so, I’m golden.
