As he told me about his plans, he mentioned that someone called the enterprise his \u201cmid-life crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had to laugh because he\u2019s a little older than I am. Since I don\u2019t think I have officially had a mid-life crisis, either I\u2019m off on life expectancy or I need to play catch-up on this concept.<\/p>\n<p>This whole idea really only comes to mind because I turn 44 today. I have no problem admitting that in public because I don\u2019t get too worried about my chronological age. After all, my maturity has steadily floated between 13 and 19 for decades.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I really can\u2019t point my finger at something which could take the shape of a mid-life crisis right and, based on my family history, I probably passed the midpoint a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>A few years back, I did make a few solo trips to Las Vegas, but those don\u2019t really count. Maybe if I had continued the tradition as I intended, I could say they represent my attempt to re-capture lost youth. I hate how money and responsibility have gotten in the way of that pursuit.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I don\u2019t think I have had a mid-life crisis and don\u2019t see one on the horizon, that does not mean I wouldn\u2019t love the distraction. Even though I love my wife, child, extended family and have many fulfilling personal and professional interests, I could get into something pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>Some people take up exercise as a way of fending off their advancing years. I occasionally get this itch to go down this path, but hold off on making a commitment because of the injuries to my knees and ankles from my wrestling days.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, I don\u2019t want to be that guy who constantly posts on Facebook about the 5K or half-marathon or run through the woods they just completed. Good for the people who love that stuff, but we have enough of those people.<\/p>\n<p>My wife still puts up with me so anything in the romance arena is out. One time, I went online and researched plans which would allow me to build a home bar, but those measurements will just sit on a shelf mocking my inability to build or fix things.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I have TVs, computers and gadgets I like, but those don\u2019t really meet the criteria. I bought a guitar years ago, but only play for myself in the basement. I think I\u2019d need to join a band for that to count, and that\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>That really narrows down my mid-life crisis options to expensive toys or business projects. Over the years, I have changed into a more thrifty person so I wouldn\u2019t stretch beyond our means just to get a little bit of an adrenaline rush.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I don\u2019t need a mid-life crisis. Maybe the whole notion of a mid-life crisis is really overblown and sometimes we simply have more confidence to try new things as we get older. Maybe I\u2019ve grown up just fine.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll ponder that question as I stay up too late drinking beer, watching television and playing video games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone I know showed off a restoration project he has recently undertaken.
