I was thinking about having a midlife crisis, you know, about being not …… enough (insert required aspirational state of appearance / success / fame / award / accomplishment etc etc) but then I realised I was both A. too tired and B. too busy to have a midlife crisis. And I also realised that I had never before decided on what would define ‘success’ at middle age nor what might indicate failure. So here’s me, about to turn middle aged in a couple of hours: forty-f€cking-five years old. I wouldn’t mind being stronger, reading more books, getting to the movies more, being adored by a devilishly handsome polymath on a quotidian basis, or at least being paid to sing in front of a big band at Carnegie Hall before I die… but generally, so far so good in the accomplishment stakes. There should also be some rule about working in an office on your Birthday: all meetings should be cancelled to allow for decadent food and beverage consumption. But again, not running the world (yet) means I can’t cancel Monday.
