I am a middle child between an older and a younger sister, hence the name of this blog; and i am not having nor do i expect to have a midlife crisis in the future--any crisis that i could afford on my income i would rather not bother with. I am not complaining about these things, mind you, it's just my way of introducing myself to those of you who don't know me; one has to start with something.
I, however, seem to be having a midlife event, which has led me to this form of expression. At age 48 i'm looking at the top of that hill and idon't know what could be on the other side, but really that is not what i'm here to ruminate about--most of us know what that's about. I suppose the most important reason for my being here are my four children. Remember in the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves, young Clark Kent plants the crystal in the snow to create the Fortress of Solitude and there his father has recorded the history of Krypton to help Clark find himself? I hope this will be their Fortress.
And, no, i'm not dying, as far as i know; i do talk to my children, their
mother and i are together, we are a typical family. The things that i want
my children to know about me and my life would take time and explanations that i know i could never get through talking to them because they take any and all opportunity to make wise cracks and poke fun of me and my stories; but, i like that about them because it shows me how clever they are. This way they will have an archive of what i have to say
available to them when they decide they're ready to look.
