I’ve started making more use of public transit (buses), even though it takes me much longer to get to my destination (1.5 hours to get to work versus 30 minutes). I make the best of it, though, planning transfers in areas of town where there is something to do (sidewalk cafe, pub) while I wait for the next bus. It’s actually a nice change to my daily routine.

I'm getting there
20 months ago
Weird thing is almost all of my old friends (from years and decades past) have tracked me down on their own.. I’m seeing a group of them on a weekly basis now, another one I get together with for a drink about once a month, and I’m trying to make plans to meet up for a second time with another old friend I recently reconnected with.
I think I still have a ways to go to really rebuild those bonds, and I have a few other far-flung friends I need to reach out to, but I feel like I’ve made huge progress on this.
It's done

I made my last payment a few weeks ago. The bank didn’t seem to know how to deal with it, but after a couple of weeks, I got it straightened out.
It feels great to be free and clear!
