The irony of our midlife choices

 

The irony of our midlife choices is that we say one thing but do another. We hate the freezing temperatures but live there anyway. And use plastic palm trees in the corner as some sort of twisted bandaid.

Lehigh Valley International Airport. Yesterday afternoon. Wondering how many and how significant the changes would be. Haven’t seen my in-laws in two years.

A common midlife crisis wakeup call results from living life from the sidelines.

Life is Life is not a spectator sport.
