1. I've had actual visible grey hairs at my temples for about a month now. I know no one else my age is going to feel at all sympathetic. I still feel like whining about it, though.
2. There really isn't any way to clean up a mess of cords from computers to the wall outlet if the computers are laptops which are sitting on a dining table in the center of the dining room.
3. Lately I have been feeling an odd sort of pride in how much stuff I don't care about. Like curtains. Why bother? It strikes me that this is probably really monumental laziness.
4. The only way to *really* have enough counter space in a kitchen is to have a continuously renewing counter; I'm not clear on the details of what happens to the old counters as it produces new counter space for the next step in one's preparations.

grey hairs and self-renewing counters

I think you're right. I feel no sympathy for the grey hair thing. On the other hand, I really love what my hair is doing as I get older - sort of silvering.

I think the countertop renewal would be like those old fabric hand towels in restrooms - the ones where you pull down to get a "clean" section of the towel, but the old dirty towel is pulled up into the thingy.

Yeah, yeah, but what about all the stuff that's ON the counter - the dirty mixing bowls, the stuff that lives permanently on the counter like that mug full of pens and pencils, the trivets... how do we keep them from gumming up the towel thingy?

They fall on the floor and make a mess?
Oh wait, that's not a good thing.

You get a cat and they knock that stuff off?

I know! Double decker!
