I have noticed over the years that my circle of friends has contracted. Some of this I attribute to my bizarre, backward work schedule. What I have also noticed, however, is that the friendships that remain are deeper and closer, which is a good thing, I think.
Another of the nice things is that I have a number of people from here that I consider good friends, even the ones who have been impolite enough to move to other parts of the country, or to have been there to start with.
