Dear Diary:
On a recent Saturday, my sister and I were sitting at a table on the New York Public Library plaza on 42nd Street. A gentleman approached my sister from behind and pointed to her gray hair and then pointed to his own gray hair.
He came forward and repeated this gesture twice more as he faced me, smiling and indicating that he and my sister obviously had something in common.
She ignored him, but it was clearly a new “senior pickup†approach.
