Getting Older

So I found another gray hair this morning. They seem to be popping up as of recent. Usually on my crown. Hmmm. Right now they blend nicely with the other highlights my hair has, but will there come a day that I finally give into the fact that my hair knows I'm getting older?

I love this phase in my life. I'm still young enough to accomplish so much, and old enough to not care what people think anymore. It's very liberating to be standing on two firm feet. It's taken a lifetime to get here, but I enjoy who that has shaped me into. I wouldn't say I've arrived, but I can see the door.

Plans:
Plans are in motion for the Great 2008 Labor Day Road Trip (I'm still working on the name). It's hard to put in word how excited I am to be seeing these two people again. You know the kind of people that just make you feel like a better person to be around them, well that's them. Besides the people, this road trip will take me through some beautiful parts of America that I've never seen before. One highway weaves through the Appalachian Mountains.

Speaking of Appalachian Mountains, let's never forget this video:
