I could use some advice from the thread.

I stopped at the Hair Cuttery after lunch. The woman who cut my hair, whom I did not know, commented that my hair color was lovely as she seated me for a wash. With her accent, I wasn't sure I heard her correctly so I asked her to repeat it. She said that my hair was a lovely color. Not orange or green.

While she was scrubbing my head, I had a chance to reflect on what she had said. I have seen green hair on St. Patrick's day. And I've seen orange hair that looked like a bad dye job. I, personally, never considered either.

When one is in the process of growing old gracefully, there comes a point when one should be writing "gray" in the hair color box on the form for a driver's license rather than "blonde" or "brown." But it's hard to tell just when that point might be when the evidence is sitting atop one's own head. I have interpreted her comment to mean that I've reached that point. I assume she was saying that sometimes gray hair has an orangy or greenish cast to it and that mine doesn't.

Do you think that's the correct conclusion to reach?

Karen

"I'm as pure as the driven slush": Tallulah Bankhead. (Okay, I admit, as a freelancer I read way too many quote books).

Bland hears the sound of revelry by mid-afternoon.

(Which is not a literal quote, but is a semi-stiflingly literary one).
