I have no friends left from my childhood, as I also moved away in HS. I did reconnect with one, when she saw my mom's obit in the paper, 15 years ago. She lives about 15 miles from me, but after getting together a few times, we have only spoken infrequently. When we reconnected, she had a 5 year old and I had teenagers. It's a shame, though.
I still am in contact with one close friend in AZ, and through her, I catch up on others. If I go back to visit, though, I fall right in with my old gang. However, I suspect if I lived there, I wouldn't see them so frequently, as they are not into sports and are pretty sedentary. Right now, I have 3 good female friends; 2 I have known for like 20 years, since I moved back here. One I can barely stand to be around... it's too long of a story to go into here, but I am easing out of seeing her. There are others I see occasionally, usually friends related to work, etc.
I guess that I am weird,in that I would rather spend my time with DH.
