    Funny discussion with my wife yesterday...

    I can't remember the exact topic we were talking about, but at one point she looks at me and says, "Your mid-life crisis is going to be interesting..."

    And since I turn 40 soon, I don't know when "Mid-life crisis" actually starts...

    I told her that she doesn't really have to worry about me buying a Corvette or anything, though.

    Honestly, I don't know what my "mid-life" crisis is going to be like.

    For my midlife crisis, I started watching My Little Pony and playing Call of Cthulhu. Yeah, I know they're near opposites, but it was a case of wanting to expand my experiences.

    I hope yours goes in a similar way.
    "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

      I'm going out on a limb here, and completely guessing, but mine will probably be about clothing/accessories, my music (including finally putting out that CD), or expanding my hobbies.

      I don't think I'll take up golf or anything, though. I might expand on my bowling equipment, but not golf.

        That's a myth.

          I didn't buy a Corvette for my mid-life crisis. I bought a Cadillac.

            Screw the Corvette - I'd rather have a Destroyer.

                I must have had my mid-life crisis early. I bought a Porsche when I was 23.

                (An old, inexpensive, beat-up one for $3000. Had to learn to work on it myself, because I could either afford to buy it or afford to maintain it--but not both. I bicycled to work an awful lot for quite a few years.)
                “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
                One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
