My Midlife Crisis
« 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. :-\

You mean you haven't got a tattoo? I'll have to do a re-think about you - you've definitely gone down in my estimation!

Well at least you wont have beard hair falling into your soup.
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

I applaud your gracious acceptance, Malc. I like to drool and mutter.

No tattoo, Vulch. I nearly got an eagle tattooed on my shoulder when I was in the Air Corps (for six months when I was eighteen).
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?

I'm going to worry about any mid-life crisis nearer the time.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

I expected to have a mid-mid-life crisis, but I was spared. I have noticed that about a dozen worryingly grey looking hairs have appeared at my temples, but I'm hoping those will just make me look distinguished in a few years time.



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

I think MY mid-life crisis came and went while I was busy with the menopause!

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