Today was the third of nine laser treatments to remove as much of my facial hair as possible. As usual, I put on the numbing ointment at home, then drove to the M-Spa where the nurse-technician put on my eye protection (metal eye covers) and proceeded to zap me.

As expected, as the number of dark hairs diminishes, the effectiveness of the treatment also declines, because it does not work as well on gray hairs. But I started going gray in my late twenties, which I know to be genetic as both my father and my mother's father had similar early graying. I postponed my gray hair a bit until after ConJosé in 2002, but I threw away the bottle of Grecian Formula the day after the convention, deciding that I did not need it anymore.
