Today I was able to take a ferry across the bay between New Jersey and Delaware. It was one of the only times I’ve ever ridden on such a huge ship before, and I still feel like I’m rocking back and forth.
During the trip, we saw a school of dolphins swimming not too far from the ferry. How often do you get to see a sight like that? ANSWER: If you’re me, not very often.
The best part of the trip–even with dolphins in mind–was when my mom plucked a grey hair from the back of my head. It’s been a while since I’ve been so excited. I had her search for more, and there are at least three or four more back there. I had just until recently pictured myself as balding before my hair had a chance to change color–luck’s on my side, though.
I can’t help but wonder what’s caused these few silver hairs to sprout. Stress isn’t an issue for me, so maybe it’s some traumatic war experience my mind’s managed to keep cached.
