Abstract

I turn the "big 5-0" this year, which means I'm at imminent risk of slipping into a midlife crisis. Some of my friends and fellow AARP invitees are already deep in the throes of "manopause" and have become objects of pity and ridicule-and not just from their wives. I plan to avoid that sad fate, which all too often goes viral on social media, and be prepared when my crisis hits-or bursts from my chest cavity, grows into a hideous alien creature with hair implants, and tries to destroy my dignity and bank account.
