Excerpt: <blockquote> <p>If there’s nothing you can do right, then you can do anything wrong. At least that’s the way we saw it.</p> <p>We decided to sell everything we could and then hitchhike cross-country. The for-sale sign that we posted publicly in the school mailroom read:</p><p></p><center> <b>ATTENTION!</b><br /> We are going to run away and “split for the coast” and we need “bread.”<br /> Everything must go. Come to our rooms and see what we have.<br /> Wilson and Pasty.<p> </p></center> <p>And we weren’t kidding, although everybody assumed we were.</p></blockquote>
