Is it all the fault of having a job? Of course not, but I don't think work has led to a net increase in the diversity, interest and quantity of my friends. Sometimes a drink or dinner a couple times a year is enough, sometimes when you finally get together for that drink you discover that you have become total strangers.

Which raises a good point. How did you meet your very best (non-spouse) friends?
Coltrane's buddies are probably the guys he met in school. I'm thinking probably college.
My best friends are from the 'hood. Grade school, high school and a few from college.
Good friends are ones met in law school. A few from work.
