That was it.  I just got up and left.  Eventually I parked Earth Protector at my parents and got a ride with some of my sister\u2019s friends going to the conventions.  Eventually after that my sister and I decided to hitchhike to California; and eventually after that, on a warm early September day in Berkeley, sipping on an Orange Julius, reading a copy of a magazine called Vocations for Social Change<\/span>,<\/p>\n

I see there\u2019s a place called Voyage House in Philadelphia (near Earth Protector) that\u2019s hiring \u201cStreetworkers\u201d for $200 a month to help runaway and \u201cthrow-away\u201d kids find their way off the streets.  I used the rest of my savings to buy a one-way Amtrak ticket knowing how I was going to use my college education.  Voyage House was part of The Movement.<\/p>\n

P.S.  Long train rides can be really great!  We were barely out of the station when I met Susan in the Vista Cruiser dome car heading off to her freshman year at Kenyon College.  As I would later see for myself, Kenyon is located in the beautiful rolling hillsides and curves of Southern Ohio, and a great place to go for a long bike ride and spend the night.  As I would later learn, Kenyon College is known for producing story writers, but all this is another story entirely.<\/p>\n
