Desperate times called for farcical measures.
My Generation Is Finally Facing the Midlife Crisis. I Resolved to Confront My Own in the Most Deranged Way Possible.I’ve Noticed That Kristi Noem Has a Favorite Fashion Accessory. Uh, Yikes. I Was in Greenland the Last Time Donald Trump Made Noise About Taking Over.
This Time Feels Far Different. I threw till my arm ached and the wind chapped my lips. My best attempt was about 103 feet—roughly 12 short of Gürcü’s record. I called it after about an hour. As the surveyors packed up, they refused to let me pay their customary $225 hourly fee. Instead, they instructed me to get in touch again when I had found a flat field and a good tail wind. They’d be back to help. I had failed, technically. So why did I feel like less of a failure than I had in months? Perhaps because focusing on the project had helped me siphon brainpower away from my turbocharged self-doubt cortex. Perhaps because it was enough to know that friends, family, and unidentified schoolchildren were rooting for me, no matter how ridiculous the task at hand. Or perhaps Lachman was right: I hadn’t given the opportunities of midlife the consideration they deserved. Whatever it was, I drove away from the field feeling lifted, lighter. Maybe I’d considered only limitations and forgotten that my second act had yet to be written. Maybe I was simply at my burst flight’s apex, with plenty of flapping to go before gravity finally pulled me
