"...sometimes it takes fifty years to learn what you really knew all along." A southern entrepreneur who has spent an adventure-filled lifetime traveling around the world finds himself at the half century mark. He unearths the mystifying fact that deep in his soul there resides a childlike wish to find out what makes him tick. His Appalachian roots, a persistent sage-like woodpecker, his spiritual partner Thoreau, and an ancient Oriental guru who interrupts his beach vacation on the Redneck Riviera, all play a role in this whimsical and enlightening story of self-discovery through old fashioned reflection.
