Interestingly, for the first couple years after my wife and I met I did have a little red sportscar (Miata like Zardoz) left over from the mid-life crisis of my first marriage, which had recently ended in divorce, and my (now) wife was then my (post-divorce) little blonde mistress. Little red sportscar (and another replacement convertible) now gone, and little blonde mistress is now little blonde wife and mother of my 4 yr old son. I am pretty sure I am beyond mid-life crisis and moved on to "bucket list" phase of my life, albeit probably a bit prematurely at 52. But then I have always been precocious, according to my mother. Kilts are no MLC for me. I just want to experience the fun things in life while I can still physically do so and afford it. Afterall I'll probably be working full time into at least my late 60's if not my 70's to put my boy through school, so where is my retirement phase of life supposed to fit in?
