Here is my reflection of the day about moving from a tiny, rural community to a large, urban community: It is just as hard, maybe harder to meet people. People still move away. Over the course of the last year I have lost everyone that filled that spot of "hit me up anytime". And, just like in middle of the New Mexican desert, I'm starting over. The hardest part isn't finding just any friend. If I really wanted to get out and make friends, it would be hard.; but there are good social places: kickball teams, soccer teams, flag football teams. I'm doing those and I have a good time playing around and having a beer afterwards. But, what I am craving is some good ol' geek time. And that isn't easy to come by. Where the hell do you find the geeks in a new city? Answer: The Node. So, today, I put in my application to join the Baltimore node. Fingers crossed, one footstep forward.
