> Oh that's silly. You drive to work you drive home. Maybe you go out to dinner then you go to bed. What lifestyle are you talking about? Sf would be one thing but sj and mv are really not so different from novi or farmington. Just suburbs Oh really? That sounds like a very sad life you have. After work, when it's warm outside, I take some colleagues and we go for a cold beer next to the river. Sometimes I'd go home and take my dog out for a long, nice walk. On weekends, my wife and I love going to the woods, enjoy ourselves. When not, I take my motorbike or bicycle and go find a quiet place to read an interesting book. Often times, I'll take my wife and we will go to a nice café and sit outside, drinking the best latte in town while sitting in the sun. Oh and I forgot going to watch the kids play with their local team - it's so much more pleasant when weather is warm. I could go on, but I guess you get the idea. There IS life outside and reducing it to working and commuting seems the saddest thing ever.
