There is no mid life crisis. Put your man pants on!
I just went through the mid life crises and am on to my next identity; middle age rapscallion.
I guess you could say it is when you put on reading glasses finally, keep saying what to your wife and you can't remember where you put anything two minutes ago.
At this point in my life I would rather have the car. Better gas mileage and it doesn't bitch at you. I've wanted a sports car for about four years now but I don't have one of those understanding wives. I know I could just go buy one, but then I would have to listen to crap every day for years. I'm just hoping to wear her down at some point (maybe when the kids finally get off the payroll).
My experience is from age 55 on it's downhill. That doesn't mean it's bad. It means that you trip over shit you wouldn't have before, you drop things, the forget rightaway bit, yes on the reading glasses--a pair in every room, in the car, all jacket pockets (dollar stores come in handy for buying things you know you will lose), standing and staring, thinking, what was I gonna do or why did I open the cabinet and so on.
Keep laughing at yourself and it's okay.
How often do you misplace your plectrum(s)?This is a midlife crisis.
That question will raise a few eyebrows.
A year ago I would have needed to look the word up, but now I am taking lessons and the answer is "never".How often do you misplace your plectrum(s)?

Yep. I can't remember where I put my wife 2 minutes ago and I lost my glasses so I can't find her. I call her name but she thinks I want sex and she figures we did that last month so she says nothing.
Last month -- funny. You've lost track of time too.Yep. I can't remember where I put my wife 2 minutes ago and I lost my glasses so I can't find her. I call her name but she thinks I want sex and she figures we did that last month so she says nothing.
What are you having a crisis over? All that's happened is that you had one shot at this life and you didn't do half of what you should have with it and there's no going back. No big deal.

Fair,
If you don't mind me asking, what general area of Pittsburgh do you live in?
My wife doesn't want me to give out too much information about myself, but since you said "general area", I live west of the city.
the X304 offers 4WS, an added complexity i did not want...
Sold my LA110 for exactly what i paid for it used back in 2011...
Can't wait to mow my mid-life crisis away!
Fair has not divulged his whereabouts since the Lufthansa heist at JFK in the late 1970's.
Wouldn't the plural be plectra?How often do you misplace your plectrum(s)?

No problem. I know of a great guitar teacher in the Oakmont area who has developed sort of a specialty in "mid-life crisis" guys who want to tick learning and playing guitar off of their bucket list. Does a customized plan depending on the goals, schedule availability, etc. Let me know if you ever need a different look and I will provide you a contact.
Thanks. I have no musical talent and have no illusions of how good I can be. My goal is to be just good enough to play a few songs at gatherings of family and friends. I played Greensleeves (What Child Is This) for the family this past Christmas and it was pretty bad, but at least my 9 year old grandson knew what I was playing without me telling him.
