I enjoyed this piece, which I read with interest because I am asking myself all those questions about "maintenance." But was I was exhausted half way through the article just reading about all the many measures taken to fend off the inevitable, or the appearance of what is already taking its toll: age. And the cost! Meanwhile, I was interested to learn just how often I would have to pay to have roots dyed should I go that direction. For now I take away gratitude that at 64 I still only have about three grey hairs. While after years of medications for chronic illness which have had ruinous consequences on skin and bones, I prefer to invest in repairing my knees to ensure lasting mobility which finally is more important to me. Rowing sounds like a good plan!
