Maybe that's the one I am thinking of, though I thought it tied to work.  
Probably in a book we've got in the house. :-)

And only occasionally the things you have done. ;-)

Good friend of mine moved from Austin TX to Colorado Springs, CO - so he 
could be around the mountains because he liked hiking in the mountains.

After he moved, he decided to move back.  Why?  Well, part of the reason 
was because he never went hiking anymore - because the mountains were 
right there.

(Of course, he's back in CO Springs now, because it's near where his kids 
go to school and he goes to all their home basketball games - it probably 
helps that he's very successfully self-employed)
