Why Grey Notes?
A rather odd name, I must admit, but there is something to it:

1. My hair and beard are showing more “notes of grey.” Now into the latter half of my 30s, I wager that it’s a sign of a little wisdom from my years lived. Time to start reflecting on it.

2. Most things are grey; instead of black or white. It took me a while to come to this realization, but now its an important principle that I live by.

3. I am a quarter Grey. My grandmother’s maiden name. Check out her Father's story here.
