This morning, I spotted a long, white hair growing out of the top of my right ear. I don’t know how long it had been hanging around – or who else may have discovered it and said nothing.
It made me think of this elderly gentleman who works a crossword puzzle each morning at the same table at Starbucks. For over a year, I’ve noticed several dangling hairs growing out of his ears. I figured he must be really old. I didn’t realize we had something in common.
Anyway, I plucked my hair from my ear and scouted around for younger, shorter ones. Thank goodness, only the one. Maybe a freak occurrence.
You can bet I’ll be on the lookout from now on.
