a couple of weeks ago i was walking to work “the long way,” by which i mean i walk up dearborn to intelligentsia to get a cup of coffee, then pick up the #2 at jackson and state, rather than my normal route of just picking up the #2 at harrison and state. and i was walking behind this guy…

he was wearing a nicely fitted, but obviously not tailored, suit. he was about my height, a little taller. he was maybe late thirties, possibly 40. i couldn’t see his face, just the back and side of his head.

he was SO HOT.

salt and pepper hair kills me. i mean, every time i see a reasonably attractive man with salt and pepper hair … rawr.

(people who work with me, you can probably see at least one, er, “highly compensated” example issue with this predilection of mine.)

so tonight i was over at kasey’s after the return trip from hell, and time passed and eventually jon stewart came on tv, for The Daily Show. he’s got greying hair at his temples. now, i mean, jon stewart is pretty hot out of the box. but now, he’s got the chutzpah to add in grey hair?

THIS IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!

NO FAIR!
