Frank conversation amongst three friends over 50 with three distinctly funny personalities discussing all the things learned in our lives, all the things we're currently experiencing and all the things we are looking forward to... or not. We are one from the U.S. mainland and two from the Virgin Islands raised in three very different environments - these alone are recipes for martinis, mayhem and menopause.
