All my life I have been behind the times. I wore my bell-bottoms for years after the fashion had died, and in fact only abandoned them after they had shrunk up and become sort of bell-knickers.
I kept listening to Elvis for long after he had left more than just the building, and I voted for George McGovern -- even in the recent U.S. election.
Yet, there is one way I can say I'm really with it: I hit my midlife crisis years ahead of most people. In truth, I think I hit it back in junior high. And I have continued to hit it with fair regularity ever since.
