My grandmother passed away a little over a week ago. I wasn't very close to her and haven't seen her in several years. Because of that her death doesn't have the same sort of impact on me it might otherwise. Still some core impact that a person who was indirectly responsible for my existence and somehow who has always been a part of my life... is no longer. Perhaps even more impacting is imagining how my grandfather must be affected by her passing. They were together nearly 70 years and did everything together. In spite of all my efforts, I don't think I can truly fathom how earth-shattering this must be for him. Grandpa: I wish you remarkable strength, comfort and love. Grandma: rest in peace.

Black hair was required for this year's halloween costume including all the body hair I would be showing off. How did I accomplish that? Black hair spray for my head. Everything else? Two hours later my eyebrow, beard, chest, belly and arm hair was crusty with black mascara. As uncomfortable as that was, the 40 minutes of scrubbing later that night was even worse. Was it worth it? No. Would I do it again? Probably. Because I'm just that stupid.
