Let the good times roll

Life seems to be passing so quickly; people around me, places, just zooming by. I pause, and take a brief moment to think about my life, reflecting about where the time has gone and the distance I've covered. Wow, I'm 35, maybe this is the onset of an early midlife crisis? Happily married, beautiful new baby boy, successful career, but something suddenly feels different, lost. I feel empty. I'm waiting for something to happen, and feeling anxious. Something is missing, I know it, and I want it back. I take a big sigh, my head resting on my hands. Warm air suddenly rushes over me, and then I sense the change coming. Oh yes, there it is, that happy moment when the traffic lights change to green and the acceleration of a 130 hp Kawasaki brings another giant smaile to my face.
