Getting Old
Earlier this month, my wife plucked two gray hairs from my head. At least I still have a few hairs to pluck! Although graying hair and male pattern baldness aren't typical of a man in his late twenties, these aren't the signs that I'm getting old. My wife just called with my son to sing happy birthday. She forgot all about my birthday this morning as we spent about 20 minutes together before I dashed off to work. Now I know that I'm getting old!
I received the best birthday present on Wednesday - more time. With finals complete, I am looking forward to summer and can again turn my attention to current events. So, what's going on in the world? A blogger shouldn't have to ask that question (sigh).

Hmmm - we're supposed to pluck those things out? My fiance says she loves them.

Happy Birthday Rick! Personally, I do not have any gray hairs. Unfortunately, this is due to the fact that all the gray ones fall out. No worries about "plucking" here.

Rick, I've now met you and you look as youthful as you are. Don't worry about it, youngster. And happy birthday.

Happy Birthday, Rick. My wife has found a few gray hairs (and I'm 27!), but I don't mind. In fact, I'm proud of any I may have: "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life." "The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old."

Thank you, Adam, for your timely comment from the Word! I keep telling my daughter that it's okay to have gray hair, for that very reason.
