Title: My Midlife Crisis
Post by: Malc on December 13, 2009, 03:43:16 PM: I've discovered the joys of making soup with fresh ingredients and tonight I shaved my beard off.
If this is the extent of some kind of midlife crisis, I think I (and my wife) have escaped lightly.
I'm too mean to buy a Harley (and undergo taking the bike licence) too poor to buy a big red sports car, too cowardly to get a tattoo, too uptight to get an earring and too lazy to have an affair.

So beardless soup-making it is. Watch out, world. :-\

The tattooist turned me down on the basis that I was too skinny. He said "the last time I saw shoulders like that, they were on a sauce bottle".

Does that count?

Unless I'm in Dundee of course....

I'm pretty sure I haven't had that yet.
