I have heard that mid-life is very similar to adolescence. A term that I heard used to describe it that sounds more accurate than mid-life is "mid-olescence".<P>As someone who's going through MLC, I can say that it FEELS the same as adolescence. Many of the same issues come up - identity, belonging, what do I want to be when I grow up.... Everything gets re-evaluated.

H I H & T S,<P>I can relate to that. My 42 yr. old wife is listening to Deep Purple "Machine Head", Aerosmith, and others she used to listen to on the way to HS.<P>In the past 5 years, she began to drink new and better beers, IMHO (like Pete's, Grolsch, local microbrews). Now she will only drink Budweiser.<P>There return to youth is oh so complete in oh so many ways. The only difference is now she drives a Mercedes.<P>Jay<p>[This message has been edited by catamount82 (edited October 10, 2000).]
