When I turned 50, several years ago, everybody I
talked to over 50 said how much more free they
felt. I thought, "Good, I'll feel free."
With all the aches and pains and weight gain and
gray hairs I've accumulated since then I guess the
only way anybody would want me was if I was free.
So in a way now I feel free too.

I don't need to tell you about mid-life crises. I'm sure you're having or
have had or will have one, even as I did, unbeliever that I was..

In a way I agree that there is no such thing as a
midlife crisis. But I have seen way too many freinds
go through a second puberty on their way to a second
childhood. I hope that your hormones and ticking clock of
mortatlity don't overwhelm your brain and have you do
stuff that is worse than silly, but cause permanent
damage to your life.

Well looks like you're old enough to know better but
young enough not to care...
I've heard your show and my advice to you is this:
don't quit your day job.

Life truly begins at 50. I will be 53 this year and
have found more fun and enjoyment these past 2-1/2
years. You will too. I can tell, by listening to
your show, that you are definitely getting better!

I just turned 50 myself. Over the last couple years,
my wife has occasionally accused me of having a midlife
crisis. I have told her that it is not a midlife
crisis unless I get a girlfriend and buy a Corvette
sports car...taking up rock climbing, caving, and
celebrating my 50th birthday by doing my first skydive
don't count.
