Would I be able to get away with a new hair color?
Yes. I'm thinking I could pull off gray (perhaps better to call it "silver") quite nicely.

I’m no prankster …
but do I have any ideas for "an awesome prank"?
All the really good ideas for pranks have been taken by British comedian, wit, and author Stephen Fry. I refer the interested reader to the autobiography of his boyhood years, Moab Is My Washpot. The young Fry pulled at least two really cool pranks — one involving a church organist, the other involving a bookstore clerk. Find the book, read it, and laugh hysterically.
That’ll Wake You Up
Unexpected words from (and to) a stranger …
who will scramble my eggs ? – sunnyside up
A terribly confused young woman once offered me (for the princely sum of ten dollars) "presidential intern" service as I was walking down the city street one day, in the merry merry month of September.
In my consternation, I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind. "But I haven't had breakfast yet!" Which has to qualify as the most unexpected (and most silly) thing I ever said to a stranger! But let that go.
Back to Reality?
Is "reality TV" for me?
Generally against reality TV. But I did watch the Osbournes back in 2002 or 3, whenever they were on.
I actually prefer soap operas, perhaps the ultimate "unreality TV"! General Hospital rocks.
Losing My Irreligion
Do I consider myself religious?
In a word, yes. But I would hasten to add that "religious" does not mean virtuous, or good, or holy, or any of that. In fact, I'm probably "religious" because I'm the opposite of those things, and need all the help I can get. It is very much as Christ himself said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."
There is a balm of Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul, if reports are reliable. To heal the sin-sick soul and to make the wounded whole.
Silly Names for Eateries
What would I call my restaurant, if I had one?
Casa de Squid.
Wicked Pizzer Pizza.
Hugo Hagopian's Chinese Restaurant.
Dylan's Deli.
The Fern Hill Bar & Grill.
Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my savior;
he has regarded the humility of his handmaid.
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;
he who is mighty has done great things for me;
holy is his name:
and his mercy is upon the progeny of the progeny
of them that fear him.
He has shown the strength of his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart:
he has put down the mighty from their thrones
and has exalted those of low degree:
he has filled the hungry with good things;
he has sent the rich empty away.
He has helped Israel his servant;
in remembrance of his mercy –
even as he spoke to our fathers –
to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
