My neighborhood has changed in the past year. The social network I really enjoyed has moved into another, less dynamic phase. I used to really enjoy the people I would see at the coffee shop but it has now turned into a more vanilla, generic customer base. Some of the regulars still make an appearance but the group of people flowing in and out now has a different energy.
A friend, after 10 years in the burg, moved away this week. This means I won't see him on the streets or join him and his son at the playground anymore. The hottie bartender at the Thai restuarant is going to law school. I was there on Wednesday with the new bartendar. It just isn't the same. Another friend got married to someone in DC so he's a "commuter husband" now.
Life ebbs and flows but I'm hoping for a little re-energized vibe.
