Wait for it... at about 150

Early exposure to hippies taught me that I want nothing to do with their kind. I actually think they're what turned me into a republican. If there was a vast right-wing conspiracy and it involved burning hippies, I wouldn't just give them my email address. I would JOIN.

Nevertheless, I retain some hippie qualities. I use brown rice and fresh vegetables. I ride a bike. I have been to Jamaica. But other hippie things I nix. I stopped smoking. I ran a marathon. I use birth control that is not the rhythm method. Etc.

For a long time, I refused to "do" yoga. Reluctantly, I made the connection between tall skinny girls and yoga. In the past week I have been to the hot studio more than I should say. I can feel my body transforming. I think I may have grown an inch.

And so, I would like to apologizeyogaisthebesthingeverandIhavebeenwrongalltheseyears.
