That makes sense. I think my nostalgia for Boston is misplaced and comes from being 18 and hanging around with college students, of which they have a wonderful oversupply there, and doing fun college student things. I have no idea what it's like to be middle-aged with middle-aged people there except for the life of rpkrajewski who is so cool that he probably has this amazing cool bubble around him and his family at all times.
