Getting Old Gracefully - NOT
No one ever told me that pubic hair turns white, too. It came as a shock the first time. Then it dawned on me and made perfect sense. But luckily, my husband cannot see and that is why I think Nature is laughing. Speaking about hair... My hair - the one that counts - the one one top of my head is thinning out. My husband's hair is more than thinning out. There's the receding hairline coupled with the bald spot. Yet, at the same time that all this going on, I have wild hairs growing in all kind of places on my face. But my husband would have to first find his reading glasses, put them on, turn on all the overhead lights, and he would have to remember what he was looking at. What are the chances?

Getting Old Gracefully - NOT
I ask myself (and all of you): Is getting old gracefully even remotely possible? I don't have any answers, only random thoughts because at 60, all I have is random thoughts.
Well, I for one hope you can read this font size. Me, I am typing it with my + 2.25 reading glasses perched on my nose. I always pick the most elaborate ones possible, the most colorful, the most flamboyant, the ones with the most rhinestones, because hell, if I am 60, I might as well flaunt it!!!!
What do you think of reading glasses? How many pairs do you own? How many places do you hide them around your house? Do you have a pair in each of your bathrooms? Do you wear them around your neck? Do you have those glasses necklaces? And how many pairs do you own? Do they match what you are wearing right now? Have you ever strangled yourself on them?
Do any of you wear glasses for distance as well? I have two pair of progressives (but I forgot what
they were called and had to check with the optometrist. My mind kept calling them "perspectives." The receptionist at the optometrist's could not remember either. She had to ask the assistant optometrist). However, they don't work as well for me as two different pairs for me. So, if you see a 60 year old with two pairs of glasses on her head, both of them colorful and fully decorated, please stop and say: "Hi!"
