That's a question I've been asked a lot lately. It had been a tough week and although I'm not someone that is normally given to feeling depressed, I was a bit down in the dumps. I jokingly referred to this moment as my midlife crisis, but honestly it wasn't as bad as all that. Was it? Another birthday had just chalked itself up, and despite it being a good day overall, a few things had combined over that week, irking me just enough for me to be irritated and frustrated, and make me fear that I was becoming a morose old man.
I read somewhere that this kind of thing, where you feel out of control of a situation is what leads us dim witted men to do stupid things, especially those of us in the advancing years of our life. Those that want to capture that last ember of youth and ride it for all it was worth. In these troubled moment's some men will cash in their pension fund to buy a ridiculous and impractical sports car, some may have their heads turned by the pleasures of the flesh, and seek comfort in the arms of another women. I bought a ukulele.
