old grey hair and new orange shirt


before my second interview...i thought i'd like to look a little snazzy.  after waking up this morning, i realized that when you have mass amounts of pollen in your system, that is not possible.  before i knew this, however, i dyed my hair.  it had leftovers of blonde in it from the times when i forgot that Japanese people don't have naturally occurring blonde hair.  it also had a lovely blob sprinkling of grey.  why is it that grey hair comes in all wirey and stuff?  i would honestly be fine to leave it as is, but it was making my hair look old and dry.  so, i did a rinse over only the parts of my hair that were not my god given color.  here is the outcome: 
my ploy worked.  i think they thought i was much younger than i am by a comment one of them made....i did not correct them.  :)

secondly, when i got home, my sister in law had dropped off my MS 150 bike packet.  for such a big race...not a lot of stuff.  it came with a bazillion numbers for my arm, jersey, bike, etc.  it came with a map....but more importantly...it came with THIS:
yes, i may have put it on and already exercised in it...slightly.  so what?  i like a new shirt.
