LMAO...
I made a similar comment to my ex-boss after his purchase of a little red sports car when he turned 50. He looked at me dumbfounded and said "You mean I could have had both??"

Hi Dan,
Hey, tell that to Anne Bancroft or Heather Locklear.
Unfortunately, contrary to what Hollywood and the moneyed elite look like...the average woman at 40+ does NOT look like Anne Bancroft, Heather Locklear, Madonna, Cher, Demi, etc.
Society's concept of an acceptable process of aging is extremely double sided. That's why older men that look like Dennis Franz end up going for Shraf's "Kiki".
(no offense to Dennis' fan club, I actually think he's kind of cute , but it DOES show the prejudice towards women who "look their age" as opposed to men in the same situation.)

Dying my hair has never appealed to me. Call me strange but I just would never feel comfortable hiding my grey like that.

LOL.
I'm afraid that I will have to be contented with taking a chainsaw to my car to make it look like a sports model and renaming my wife. Although I sill have some way to go before I'm likely have a mid-life crisis.

Have you tried examining the other fossils in your rock stratum?
