Grey!

I was attempting to trim the beard tonight.
I am not very good at it, but it keeps it from turning into the Jeremiah Johnson beard.
As I was scanning for long hairs I noticed one especially long one that was super duper blond.  And I mean super duper.
Then I started to wonder if it was blond at all.  So I plucked it.  Ouch.
I looked at it closely and...uh oh.  Grey.
Well hey, I got the little bastard so hooray for me!
I continued the trimming and...wouldn't you know...the grey hair's little brother was lurking all the way on the other side of my face.  Pluck.  Ouch.
Needless to say, after 5 plucks followed by 5 ouches I just sat down in the chair and accepted defeat.
Bummer.
Just for men?  Nah.  I may not grow old gracefully, but I'm not doing anything like that.
It's just time to get old.
