I hope everyone enjoyed my imitation of an old prospector. If you didn't, I would have gotten away with it if not for those meddling kids!
Anyway, I've been back little over four months now and forgot how...dull...Pittsburgh is.
Don't get me wrong...it's nice to deal with friendlier people, but the hilly topography of Pittsburgh also finds the denizens (and overall outlook on life) to be...well...old.
People here are pretty much set in their ways and the town rolls up the streets at midnight (at least in the suburbs). Maybe I've been spoiled by Vegas.
Ok...no maybe...I have been.
This town is a tad too conservative for me. Not that I'm some wild, party guy, but it would be nice to have something different to do once in a while and people to do it with that can stay out later than 11pm without having to get home to the kids.
And the people that aren't married...which is about 1% of the people I know...live too far away and can't seem to find their way out to my neck of the woods to go out.
I know it's tough to travel to and fro but I've done it a few times...all I ask for is some reciprocation...is that so wrong? Lol.
Again, I guess since places in Vegas were central to everyone, it made it easier to meet up and just have a good time without anyone having to travel a distance.
It's just difficult making the transition from being completely unfettered in every way with a myriad of choices to...the mundane and being restricted by what the city has to offer.
"What has happened to it all
Crazy some'd say
Where is the life
That I recognize
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive"

Or at least until I hit that Powerball and move to where the fun is without being hampered by idiots like Yoko and the general public! ;)

4 months already? And we are STILL trying to hook up. Yes, I know I'm one of those married people with kids that can't stay out late.
Someday I'll see you again before you move far away! :)
So ... you're telling me now that you're back in Pitts ... that you're fettered?
Wow, you do sound "wild and crazy" Sean!
~K~
Vic,
Yeah...we'll get together soon. Hoping for the 25th but don't know the schedule as of yet.
Ya married S.O.B. you! ;)
K,
Fettered like you wouldn't believe. Fettered up the yin yang...lol.
Yeah...I'm just a crazy guy! Maybe I should adopt an accent and dress in 70s clothes too! ;)

So send us a map, some of us have a lousy sense of direction..
