Thanks!
Up until I was in my late 50s, it was a lot of fun. I don't know why Aspies age slowly but we certainly seem to.
Nowadays, for whatever reason, it's becoming a frontotemporal dementia magnet... poor souls who are losing their ability to behave themselves sometimes follow me around in stores, or fixate on me in restaurants. So I tie it back or put it in a topknot when I'm out of the house. Problem solved.
I still like it, it's not yet grey, and my face is not yet too old for it, so I don't want to cut it yet. That day is coming, eventually.
