Fade To White
I was out with a friend today, and we saw a aged lady talking to a postal carrier. She was quite tiny, white-haired, and extremely pale. He said that she looked "bleached by time," and I told him about pigment loss as we age... and other fossil facts.
He turned to me and said, "So. Are we on our way to being ghosts?
In the meantime, on your way to that fade to white.....

"I could whip your a-- Unique Alias...9 ball in the corner pocket."
ROFL. You read my mind, Phil. ;)
hahaha. I was wondering who that hottie was down there in that last pic . . .
I hope that's me in the future...still able to beat whippersnappers at pool. Then I will leave the place on my motorcycle.
Do we really lose pigment?
I wanna known when to go to Atomic to watch AUA kick some arse!!
WC--what is ROFL? I am SO outta the loop on anacronyms this week. It is killing me.
Old-school, MPL - rolling on the floor laughing.
We lose pigment in our hair, certainly, and our entire bodies change: skin suffers loss of elasticity, bone density (hence the x-ray of the broken hip), etc. I had to laugh at Phil's answers today. First of all, when I saw that pool shot, my first thought was "Unique Alias getting whupped." When Phil explained ROFL as "old school," that was just icing on the cake.
IOTC, in other words.
Your posts are always so artistic-I could never tie all those things together into what you write. Amazing.
T: Hope the kitty gets well soon.
Chair: Thank you for the kind words. As a woman who loves stilettos, I enjoy your blog, too. :)
that's a beautiful phrase, "bleached by time." come to think of it, my grandma gets blonder and blonder as the years go by...
The man who uttered that is always coming up with things you want to remember, he has such a unique mind.
