now i will acknowledge that i do not know exactly who this nacho person is, but i completely agree. go hokies go. unfortunately, we have a few games to go, so i will not get too excited yet. that and the fact that i never even get to see them play. anyway, i heard that some particularly industrious hokies broke into the stadium at uva and painteda large ¨T¨ next to the V at midfield. i will not attempt to contain my mirth. that is too funny. did anyone paint T´s next to the V´s all along university ave this year as well? probably not. hopefully the hokies showed up in force and once again had a great time in the uva hangouts all over c-ville. i remember 1999 well when vt won and at every bar i went to, it felt like being in blacksburg with a hokie or ten every where i turned.

and all the hoos in hooville turned in for an early night

so, happy turkey day. yes, i am going home in ten minutes to enjoy a grilled cheese, cantelope(how do you spell that?) and maybe something else. not too exciting.

but i will write to you what is exciting. in a negative way. i have been an avid fan of dying my hair. in fact, i have not had a natural hair color without any color, save one occasion in 2000, for over 10 years. wow. i know. this will not become a forum for those who want to recount the three inch roots i would regularly sport, those do not count.

but as most women, and clearly some men, know, dying your hair has interesting benefits. thus, not dying your hair has some equally evil side-effects. for example, i was large unaware of the amount of grey hair produced by my hair folicles (again i cannot spell). looking in the mirror now is a little disheartening. i mean, they are everywhere. top, sides, ok, i don´t know about the back but i have my speculations, all over the place there are these white flags telling me i never should have stopped dying my hair. i should have continued to live in the dream world of blonde hair, or the many other colors i once sported, again, we will not discuss, merely mention, the botched blonde and red highlight fiasco of spring 2004 when my hair ended up being pink. and i had a rather large black beard. yes, i was a teacher at this point as well. out west you can get away with a lot more than you can on the east coast or in the south. a lot more.

so my hair is grey. this does not really make me sad it just makes me wonder how long my hair has been gray. i mean how many years have i been lying to myself? how many more could i have continued doing so is the real question, but again, we will ignore that one.

happy turkey day all! go cowboys! go hokies!
