Aging Ambition

Years ago, Fiorella saw an older woman with snow-white hair being wheeled through the Austin airport.  She was wearing bright red lipstick, had a big smile on her face, and was talking and laughing with the airport employee assigned to helping her navigate.  The woman sparkled, and Fio decided she wanted to be just like her when she grew older.  

White hair is out of the running for Fio genetically, and Fio's still on her feet, but the lipstick's a slam-dunk and she's been working on the smile lately.

See you at the airport.
