Sure, the grass is always greener. There were things I didn’t like about Bozeman. But there are LOTS of things I don’t like about the Philadelphia metropolitan area. I want to go back to the WEST!
I’ve spent what I feel is a long time trying to find a family doctor. The search isn’t even over yet. In Bozeman, sure, we were just lucky. But most of the doctors there were cool. I had several friends who loved their doctors. Here, I just took my poor kid to see a ~75 year old dude who cared diddly-squat about her. Aargh! I want Dr. Luke! So, my mission is to find a good young family doctor that isn’t terrible. I like going to the same doctor as my daughter. But if I can’t find a family doc then I’ll do the pediatrician and OB/Gyn thing. I just don’t want to. Ug.
This is what’s on my mind right now. But there are a myriad other things we DON’T like here that were at least passable back in Montana. Sure, there are some cool things too. Like we live about 5 minutes from the zoo that has all kinds of cool animals – many more than in Billings. And the Please Touch Museum is way cool, and about 10 minutes from us. The shore is about an hour away. That’s about it for the list of cool things.
Sorry to hear that you’re not liking Philadelphia. Great to be near the zoo/museum and coast, but practical matters MATTER.
We miss you guys here in Bozeman…
On another note, Catherine got a job (the right kind off job, for the scholarship) in Butte! She will commute 4 days/week until I finish up next May, then we will move to Butte…
