When you manage to totter
through. • -to. what is
euphemistically called these
aayts "middlemage;,'•.;you are -
supposed to be able to -relax a
little, slow down, take it easy,
enjoy all . those • things you
never had• tifne•for before.
After •all, . your_ kidsr are
• grown up ,now,' and on'their
own. The •mor.tgage is paid '•
off, or nearly. Passion. is not..
exactly .spent, but let's say
that you don't ex`actly turn to
jelly at the sight of 'a big
buzoom. "
if your health is
reasonable, you should have a
quarter-century' of mellow
living ahead, time to travel,
to contemplate your navel, to
read • all those books, • to
cultivate your own garden,
before you are quietly
Shuffled off .to one of those
institutions 'with .the ghastly
names., like Sunset Haven or
Trail's End Paradise.
I am here, to state., quietly
but with grim ferocity, that
this is one 'of the Big Lies
perpetrated by our society on
young people when they are
raising their. children.
It's a lot of: poppycock,
chaps. Takemy advice and
have all the fun you can while
you're. young. Go to Europe,
• buy a .£arm, take a year off.
Do what. you want to now,
-because you won't have time
when you're -middle-aged.
I just sat down here for a
minute, -to stop my ,head
' spinning, and it Struck ' me
•. that it's the first chance I've
had to sit down and take my
'• usual•. cool perspective of life
for weeks.:
Life .is not exactly •a gay,
mad whirl • when .you're
t middle-aged. It's morelike a
case of the blind staggers.
