My wife and I are lying on the couch last evening, nice and cozy, watching some movie on TV. She looked at me and, as she often does, started to observe how old I am starting to look. She takes great pleasure in this for some reason.
So, she says to me “God, Steve. You are really starting to get old! Do you think you are going to go through a mid-life crisis?” I said, “I don’t know. I hope so. I’ve heard they’re a hoot!”
She didn’t laugh. Sigh.

Everyone was asking me if I was going through a mid-life crisis when I bought my motorcycle last year.
So what?!

Actually, riding a motorcycle makes it statistically less likely to be a MID-life crisis!

Welcome to mid-life but why a crisis? Is it a crisis to go after what you’ve always wanted using age as an excuse? Heck, I thought that’s what guys did ALL the time! Hmmm…I’ve been missing something LOL.
BTW, re your comment on “He Said, She Said”, well yeah! Except you of course! ;0)

I know people who have been going through a midlife crisis since they were 20.
Here’s a question: When you look at other people your age, do you generally think you look older than them, or younger?

Phillip, In my mind’s eye, I think I look younger. But when I look in the mirror, I realize I look every bit as old, or older, than others my age. I don’t believe I am almost 40.
