One of my very good friends moved to the west coast a couple years ago while I was still living in Onterrible.
This turned out to be one of the best things to ever happen to our friendship.
I sometimes keep very late hours, and in those quiet moments of the night, my search for conversation would invariably lead to her; A product of the change in time zones which resulted in her being my only friend who would still be awake.
To my dismay, my moving West has not brought me similar benefits.
Why is this? Perhaps all the people I know out east sleep extra early. Or perhaps they're all just too busy to call. Ah well.

Simon,
What is your phone number so that I may call you and attempt to sooth your uncontrollable sobbing.
Also, you might try watching the Tour de France. It may be convenient in your timezone.
i know i disappoint many a friend by being a not very good phone person.
i am sorry.
Dave has been insulting my phone conversation AND my bedtime recently.
