Book excerpt: A brutally honest collection of essays and short stories, told in the authentic voice of an American Baby Boomer. With first person experience as a prison nurse, a concert stage manager, a combat photographer, addict and alcoholic, Robert spins tales of sex, drugs, love, life, addiction and recovery. Sure to elicit smiles and tears, BOOM BABY BOOM takes readers through noteworthy episodes of an extraordinary life. We are secretly dark men. The light of our expectations has dimmed. Hating ourselves while taking long drags on unfiltered Camels, we are miserable. Born into the most prosperous and dynamic generation in history, we pissed much of our potential away. Our superficial mantra is "He who dies with the most toys wins." To this end, we shine custom chromed Harley's in three car garages as our post-menopausal wives open the mail and find another overdue credit card bill. Now, in our fifties and sixties, we watch apathetically as Wrangler waistlines expand and 401K balances contract. We bitterly march in Tea Party formations, railing against this week's imaginary enemy. We medicate our sallow-skinned children into submission, and anesthetize our unfulfilled American dreams with designer vodka and micro-brewed hipster ale.It wasn't supposed to be like this.
