Musings at Altitude

My mid life crisis is becoming more and more obvious – more things this week that point to a change in behavior, a change in habits, and a clear effort to be different. 

 

 A few weeks ago my rolling computer bag blew a wheel, and I’ve been using a temporary carry bag ever since.  This past weekend I went out and bought a backpack – how cool is that.  It doesn’t do anything for my back, but I sure feel a bit more modern carrying the backpack instead of rolling around the computer bag!  I also brought my tennis shoes with me this trip, and 4 of the 5 days I’ve been gone I’ve worked out…and it felt good.  And the act that got me thinking the most about my mid liife crisis was breakfast – twice this week I ate oatmeal and fruit.  I don’t think I’ve done that since the 1980’s but for some reason this week I started thinking about my health.

I don’t know what all this means, but I’m thinking my mid life crisis is growing and I’m hoping its growing in a good way and not bad.  I’ll have to start paying attention now that I’m eating oatmeal though…that dramatic change in diet may require me to stay much closer to facilities than I used to…fortunately, I haven’t gone totally over the edge since I had fried chicken the two meals following this morning’s oatmeal!
