| Three Friends Looking for Adventure... They had already gotten their degrees– in liberal arts, education, business, and good old- fashioned survival. They had not only written mortgages, they had paid them off. They could soothe a teething baby, write a letter to the editor, and bake a souffle– usually all at the same time and without interrupting anyone’s dinner to complain about it. They had elected seven presidents, picketed for paid day care, campaigned for national health insurance and secured parental leave policies at workplaces across the nation. They had saved the ozone layer, the whale, and the Southern hemlock, all while keeping their streets safe from drunk drivers, their schools safe from drugs, and their sons safe from war. They had raised families, raised funds, and raised their share of hell. Now they were moving on.
