Starting to see a pattern forming? I’ve greeted my first few gray hairs with an inexplicable enthusiasm. I’m thinking -- maybe full-blown adulthood is when I’ll really come into my own. I’m counting the days until my eye doctor tells me that my vision is fading so I can finally get the glasses that say, “I spend my days off chilling at home, drinking fair trade coffee and listening to NPR next to a window that allows me to watch the progress of the herb garden I planted on our fire escape.” I’ve already copped to browsing men’s fashion sites! Any minute now, I’m going to start shopping for a Subaru.

Resistance is futile.

Any other men out there who woke up and realized that they’d become the man they always mocked (and are cool with it)?
