My second? third? midlife crisis

The year I turned 50 involved some changes.  Things were stable in my career and finances, but something was missing.  I was in a rut.  Totally domesticated.

I began to act out.  Started smoking cigarettes again.  Sat in bars by myself.  Flirted with danger.  And with no real justification or plan in mind, I found myself at the Old Motorcycle Shop in Calgary, buying a little Taiwanese motorcycle.  A Sym Wolf Classic 150.  Three years old (a 2013) with 17 kilometres on the odometer.  I strapped it into the back of my truck ( the first lesson in my newest education) and drove it home.
