Grey Hair

Before I get to the point, I have to ask: Have you ever found yourself leaning toward one spelling of grey/gray over the other? They are both acceptable. I like "grey."

I'm beginning to think there is a direct correlation to the amount of grey hair spewing forth from my follicles and the amount of time I spend living in the past.

Dishwater blonde/brown hair, black sideburns/eyebrows/moustache, and a red beard. It was really freakish.
