WARNING: THREAD DRIFT

When we were on our cycling tour in Italy, we met up with an interesting couple from Palo Alto. Retired Stanford physics professor. He and his first wife lived in a hippie commune there with some other hippies in an open marriage concept arrangement. (Note to Dogfish: this is where you sign up to get laid and high.) The prof found out he enjoyed getting it on more with another guy's wife than with his own, etc., etc. So he divorced his wife; she divorced her husband, and the two of them left the commune, got married and lived happily ever after traveling all over the world.

Note: not all hippies are shiftless non-working types. Some of us have jobs and careers and still manage to keep an open mind.
