I am increasingly aware of the fact that I really don't have a good group of friends to hang out with down here, and it's an odd problem for me.

I did eight years in the US Air Force (as a computer geek), and because of general military camaraderie always had people around. Sure, they might not have been life-long friends (although a few most definitely are), there was never a shortage of people you could round up party with.

Now that I'm down here, I don't see any sort of group with that mentality. Clubs don't really do it, because first it's odd not going without other people in the first place, and second because I'm just starting to feel too old for it (yikes!). My brother lived down here for a while, and we get along great, but he moved back home shortly after he got married.

My two roommates are good people, but you can't do *anything* with them without it getting into either a religious or political discussion (or worse yet, both). They have a "signed" picture of GW Bush on the fridge, and take the O'Reilly Factor as gospel.

It's a weird time for me. I feel like age is creeping up on me.

I'm going to have to start living life vicariously through Annabelle...
