Moving to San Francisco has been a good thing. We got away from the psycho neighbor, own half of a two-flat building with loads more character than the townhouse, and Dawn's school commute went from one & a half hours to 1/2 hour. My commute went up, but from 3 minutes to 1/2 hour, so it's still doable. On balance, it's worked out well even if we're feeling poor from all the house expenditures and tuition payments.

But I miss my friends.

Most of my friends are in the South Bay, and can't (or won't) make the trek up here on a regular basis. Can't really blame 'em; I game regularly in San Jose on Mondays, and I drag the entire next day. Even when I crash there (which gets me an extra hour of sleep).

I miss the silly card game nights, the random get-togethers, the contact.

Okay, enough self-pity for today.

Been there, did that...

Napa. Sacramento. San Francisco.

The last was actually not nearly as bad as the first two, as we actually were close enough to get together on a semi-regular basis with our friends. However, it got me to the point where I have decided that I am not going to move far away from this area again. (Of course, buying a house also has helped me put down roots here.)

At least your upstairs neighbors provide some contact, and you can contact people down here for regular get-togethers.

I do sympathize with you. *pats*
