I’VE BEEN HAVING A MIDLIFE CRISIS ever since I was fourteen. I was too young, and too poor, to go out and get myself a red sports car. Plus, I didn’t have a driver’s license, which was not an insignificant problem. But I learned how to bide my time. After struggling through my teen years, staying in school as long as I could in my twenties, doing my best imitation of a spinning top through my thirties, I finally made it into my forties and could officially acknowledge the presence of a recognizable midlife crisis. So I went out and bought a candy apple red Fiat Spyder, four on the floor, tan leather upholstery, a convertible hot car. I went tooling about town, only dimly aware of traffic laws, down shifting with pretended expertise as I approached red lights, top down, the wind in what little hair I had left at the time. I had managed to reach the gawd-awful point in life when I could commence to wonder if I had adequately prepared for whatever was ahead, and whether or not I had sufficiently taken advantage of my now bygone youth. But… BUT… then I remembered what FIAT stands for: Fix It Again Tony. I got nervous. I looked across the living room and saw my two young daughters. So I took that hot little car in and traded it for a big ol’ vacation van and sat down with my kids to look at photos of the Smokies. “When can we go, Papa?” “As soon as school’s out, girlies, as soon as school’s out.”
