It's a Wonderful Mid-Life Crisis - Mark Nicholls - Bog

Max and Marion are usually the sort of friends who can go for a year without seeing each other and catch up on everything in a second once they do. In these four strange and amusing encounters, however, something new seems to be happening. Max finds himself increasingly flummoxed by his interesting friend, as Marion plays about with various scenarios in which she side-steps work, suspends the kids and liberates her life partner while making a direct and long overdue approach towards more time meditating under the Me Tree.
