Danger of middle-aged learning






Maybe it is just because I’m 48 years old and learning a lot of new things after years and years of thinking I know everything. I’m learning how to blog, how to manage a Web site, doing a lot of writing and learning how to be successful at two new jobs. Sometimes I feel as though my brain is actually swelling. I’ve been periodically checking the mirror and everything looks the same, but I’m feeling unmistakable pressure.
Any day now, I expect my skull to split under the pressure and sort of mushroom. I hope my hair still fits when that happens.
Hey, think of the fringe benefit: All the wrinkles around my eyes and mouth will be pulled taut as the skin expands to accommodate my larger brain and skull!
