They creep up on you, those “middle aged guy” things. Seeping into your life. Maybe examples will help.

• Coffee addiction
• Sore lower back
• Exercising for fitness reasons
• Listening to jazz or classical music

One massive desire I have is for a room to be used by me as a place to relax and pursue hobbies away from the rest of the family. I want a Man Cave really bad.

With this realisation I concede to middle age. Now excuse me while i spend my day grumbling about what’s on the radio, and discussing the state of politics.

Not really. But my back is sore. And I do want that man cave.
