New people freshen the optimism.

I know I can't always make it up to the Bellevue area to hang with the new crowd of folks we have begun to meet up there but it definitely feels good to be connecting with some new, totally rad people for the first time in a while. Not that any of the people from my area have not filled that 'totally rad' gap in my life, quite the opposite, but that I have been simply needing a new change of pace with a new landscape of scenery. It's the traveler's wanderlust I have been suppressing for so many years, I guess.
