The only problem is my friends from high school and college all live in different cities. How do I go about making new good friends at this stage of the game? I'm not really interested in getting closer with my work acquaintances.

the only way to make friends at that age is through hobbies, other friends, or work
since you're married with kids you wont have time for anything but work friends

Church
Classes for couples (cooking, dancing, etc.)
One that works well if you have teenagers is look for non-school dances (in the South we have dancing GRITS or cotillions) and be a chaperone - you'll meet other parents there

no one gets to have friends. you have to go out and make them
How normal are you? Fantasy sports leagues can work well for married father's, just gotta find a local group that meets up occasionally for the games, then you chat about your leauge and all the bullshit that goes with life between games. If you hate sports it's a no go of course.

I actually wonder if there's a statistic for this. I feel like fantasy leagues and drafts are becoming an increasingly larger networking/friend finding avenue for people in their late 20's-50's+.
At least for me, "So where you know <anon> from? We're in the same fantasy league", is getting to the point where it's common enough it doesn't sound weird as fuck anymore
