It's been a long time since I've been online and I noticed that will_riker has gone quiet. That's too bad because I enjoyed my conversations with him and I felt that he was someone who could offer some good advice.

I think the word the captain used at the conclusion of the slide show was "Interesting." She obviously didn't realize that her hair would be a matter of shipboard speculation.

I will grant you that I've had a few style changes over the last 5 years (which is perfectly natural--unlike say, hypothetically, if a certain Commander's hair abruptly went from hints of gray to entirely black). I had no idea that anyone was keeping track, or even cared. Though I suppose emh's fixation on hair is understandable (moreso than certain other people's fixation with *blonde* hair, I might add).

Either you mortals really have nothing better to do with your lives, or you're veritable fountains of comedic wit. I haven't quite decided which. The notion of a presentation on Kathy's hair is positively hilarious in a number of ways, and I'm not sure all of them were intentional.

A pity I wasn't there. The look on Kathy's face must have been priceless.
