Yeah, I REALLY miss the mountains and the snow! I'm hoping to pull off a ski trip in January or February though, so that will help some, but I fear a move is inevitable. Alaska just seems like the farthest place I can run to and still be in the U.S. And what I think I'm really wanting to do is just shake things up. I'd move to canada or australia, but the paperwork is a nightmare, and they generally want you to have a job lined up BEFORE they let you in. I keep a really bizarre sleep/wake schedule already, so the long-long nights in alaska wouldn't bother me I don't think. Part of me thinks that I might somehow find more opportunity there because of that... if you're willing to go somewhere or do something other people aren't, you can usually get ahead. Not that I have any idea WHAT I would actually do... :-)
I think you'll like college station. You can't ask for a better town when you're starting off in life. It's big enough to have all the amenities, but because it's so full of college students, you're always meeting people that are in the same boat as you, so to speak, so it's easy to make friends or find things to do that appeal to you.
If you don't like coffee, and I don't really... yeah, something else then. Grab a bite to eat maybe, fast or semi-fast food somewhere. That's my modus operandi when I go into San Antonio: Eat someplace we don't have in Boerne. Lemme know if that works, and if there's any time/day of the week that's better for you. My "schedule" is pretty non-existent at the moment, so I'm flexible. Lemme know.
On a side note, I think the server upgrade broke your site. The php open tags need to be changed from "<?" to "<?php" to fix it.
