A friend asked me this question tonight and I have to say it got me thinking. That doesn’t mean the answer is yes.
I grew up in South Orange County. I watched cities born there and grow into mecca-plexes. One example is Irvine. I also watched friends become rich and famous and sadly some fall by the wayside losing their fortunes and even their sanity. It was an experience I could write volumes about. The Orange Curtain is a place like no other. It’s soft and sharp as a razor. Have you lived there? Perhaps you get what I’m grasping at words to say. At any rate, the wonder of attending an excellent college and playing a 45 minute set with my guitar could never compare with the smiles of my girls. So … I left wonderland to seek my fortune in the high desert. Now that I have settled up here. I don’t miss a thing down there. They can have the wealth and the BS :) I may not have the cash drawer to prove it but I am a millionaire in my own mind up here. I’ll take anyone out in the parking lot here who tries telling me that isn’t so (Dave Sharp quote) ;)
So … do YOU miss the old days?

There’s definitely some things I miss about the old days and it usually involves less stress for some reason. I don’t know, things seemed easier and more reliable back then. It’s funny you mention this because I just wrote a post remembering how excited I used to be to get stuff in the mail. It’s stuff like that that I miss.
@Jessica The Rock Chick: Yeah, I remember the mail stuff. Email has kind of overshadowed that. Now I eagerly await packages ;)
