Confessions of a Middle-Aged Hippie Geek

Book excerpt: Confessions of a Middle-Aged Hippie Geek is a collection of personal essays inviting the reader to tag along on Eubank's middle-aged journey of self-discovery. Join her as she reveals a few silly secrets, delights in life's simple pleasures, exposes her fears and phobias and proves that getting "older" doesn't necessarily mean getting old. Eubank states: I am a bona fide middle-aged hippie geek, and if that also makes me an oxymoron, an anomaly or just plain weird (eccentric, peculiar, or odd), then I'm okay with that. And I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm not alone--that a few of the rest of you fall into the same category. Welcome . . . welcome to my groovy world. Pull up a beanbag while I light some incense and put Simon and Garfunkel on the iPod. Then I'll pass around the dictionaries, and we'll see how many synonyms we can find for geriatric. It will be fun. I promise. And she delivers on that promise.
